I`m assuming you know that the module is by default not set to show the tv picture, you have to hold the <> (auto reverse) button in for 3 seconds until the screen goes blank to activate the feature.. This is where mine doesn`t do as it`s told.

Dont know if this helps you but this is how my Video-on-motion works:
1-Put the system into "Television" audio mode.
2-Press and hold the left "search" button until the screen goes blank
3-After 1 second,the screen will reappear.Your setting is now set.

(Note:If your screen does not reappear,press the "Menu" button.If it still does not come up,turn the ignition off and back on to recycle the system)

Simply repeat the procedure 1-3,in order to toggle the system back to the previous setting.

Thanks, I`ll try when the wife gets back in it. My instructions said to hold the autoreverse button, god knows why I didn`t think to try the search buttons.. DOH!

When you say TV Audio mode, do you mean the tv selected and listening to the tv audi as opposed to listening to radio etc..

I tried, as an earlier post suggested straight out the back of the NaV unit. Blue connector was there. Was a struggle to get it fitted, but somehow i managed.

Was all going well untill i put the car in reverse!! damn!! DIDNT work.

Someone have a solution?? Need some help! and am not the only one!

Hi demondali,did you connect the the tv-in-motion module to the back of your
Dvd-Drive Nav unit above the cd-changer??There is also a Blue connector here!This IS NOT THE ONE!!!!You Must follow the instructions on ADRIAN'S post#5 and only connect you tv-in-motion module to your VIDEO Module,which as Adrian correctly advised, is next to the battery.After installation,just follow my instructions on activating TV-In motion and like Adrian you should be ok.

Sorry for a late response. I wasnt going to give in!
I managed to get it all working early yesterday evening.

I Initally tried the Nav drive above the CD changer but no joy there. Didnt work.
Managed to follow adrians instructions.. (cheers by the way) and installed it next to the battery..and like magic it all worked!! am loving it!!

Its a nightmare trying to get the spare wheel out.. undoing all the bolts etc. fidling around with badly located screws but hey.. if you manged to get through all that..it does work. ...

It was worth the effort.Hard work and persistance definitely pays off.
Battery is a pain to gain access,but I recommend that you always disconnect it when carrying out electrical work in your car or simply charging your battery!Dont go by what the Owners Manual says(to use the + and - connectors in the engine bay!).
