Unlocking tv in motion and adding dvd player

[AMCross]

ok

on the advice of this forum i have ordered the i-bus interface from germany and will use navcoder when it arrives

BUT would like to use the video in on the nav unit to input a dvd player but seem to find it difficult to understand why the cables or loom is so expensive

Can you putchased the plugs and make the leads yourself ?

Isn't THIS what you need? Not that expensive in the big scheme of things is it?

hiya trapdoor


thanks for the link

saw that one the other day but as i have seen similar for £125 + i thought it was too good to be true

How do you know if you've got a factory tv tuner onboard?? I have a 2006 X3 with the factory nav system. Thanks

If you have the "Television" option on your main navigation menu, then you have a TV tuner onboard.

Is there a way to add that and the software will understand it has tv? thanks for the quick answer.

Buy a TV/Video module and cables/antenna's and plug it in. The system will recognise the module and add it into the menu. Leave out the antenna's if you only want to use it for DVD and/or backup camera.

No, that cable provides only the facilities in the original TV Tuner, which is:

1 x AV-In
1 x AV-Out
1 x Rev Cam In
