Forgive me folks, it is 04:00am work time and killing some time during break.

The car would need to have shipped with the video module. VERY few US bound E38's and E39's had this feature and they were ALL MKI's produced before 1997, IIRC. I added the OE module to my 2000 E39 about 10 years ago. It still works great for DVD's, but since the analog switch over, the TV does not pick up stations.
This guy is preying on unsuspecting people to pay him for a series of steps that worked in a very small number of cars in the US. Probably even fewer of them are still running. The sad part is that this auction probably has enough truth to it that if reported, he could defend it.
