TV Tuner instll help/parts

[apw2607]

BMW does sell the retrofit kit for the TV module (if you have the TV module already), including the wiring harness, the TV antenna (for the rear bumper) and antenna cables.

I purchased mine from Individual car consulting on ebay.de

The TV wiring harness had an official part # on it. Without trolling though the trunk I dont remember of the top of my head what the part # is on it.

I just made a TV harness three weeks ago. You can buy PN 61.12-8 377 436 from most dealers and follow the instructions on the openbmw.org site to convert it into a video harness. I think that I paid about $40 for the -436 harness from Hammersley BMW.

You could also use the retrofit kit that apw2607 references in his post. I did not know that kit exists, and it would be very handy, as it includes the antennas and antenna cables, which run about $200.
