Nav into TV
 

Look for the info on ebay

You need a TV tuner (if there is not one already fitted) as well as the TV antenna amps and antenna cables (2 of each) and then a wiring loom to connect TV to the nav system, plus mounting brackets

www.real.oem will give you the part numbers for what you want.

thank you!

I have a set of BMW TV antennas here if needed: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-items...-antennas.html

Keep in mind that after February of 2009 (only a few months away) the over the air broadcast channels will cease to transmit analog video signals, which are the only ones the BMW video module is capable of picking up in the USA. You will still be able to use a DVD or other video sources.

And you can still get the new Digital TV signal, you just need a A-D signal converter, almost every store in the USA sells them, can even get a $40 rebate from DTV2009.org.

Run the box into the A/V channel of the OEM TV tuner!!!

Do you need a tuner too?? I say get the BMW, the other are cheaper, but not as stable, at least I think so:)

Don't forget the other advantages of using the OEM TV tuner:

1. You can add little AV-Senders that transmit on UHF channels, eg: front door monitors, baby phones, etc.
You could fit one to say the reay of a trailer so you can see inside the trailer or behind the trailer.

2. You could add multiple video sources to your car, like play station, DVD, etc etc, all running on UHF channels, and select them on the TV.

3. The native TV tuner offers backup camera, input, AV input, and AV output (eg for rear seat monitors). Use the AV-in for an external USA-compliant digital TV tuner.

As the usability of the native TV tuners is reducing due to the analogue TV switchoff, they should theoretically reduce in price.....

I'd love to see an analog to digital TV converter box that is native 12volt. Given the size of the RV and mobile TV market, someone's got to come out with one at some point, I would hope.

There's a few around. Google and you'll find them. I did when I went looking a few months back. (and I was looking for a ATSC USA tuner, not a DVB-T European tuner)

Cool, I did find one - http://www.dtvboxanswers.com/artect3apro.html :thumbup:
