Hi

Can you retro fit the TV tuner thingy? I have Sat Nav and fancy the TV thing as I spend a lot of time waiting for ferries etc. If you can do it, do you know who does it in Scotland/North England?

Personally I have the system in the X5 and would not waste my time on it. Each time you move location you need to retune the TV to local station frequency and reception is at best mediocre.

You'd need to be double sure the equipment is digital switcheover compliant too.
 
Cheers. I heard you can get a bypass that allows you to have the TV on while moving. Dangerous I know but do you know anything about this?
 
yes its easy.. tonnes on ebay.

the DVB-T freeview tuner is the one to have.. im sooooo tempted.. sky sports news whilst ur driving ? :D
 
Totally agree with cj10jeeper. It was a novelty for a short time with the M3 and I've got to say I don't miss it at all on the Z4. The signal is usually terrible and TV on the move is a mental idea in front of the driver (although I did bypass it myself on the M3!).
 
As above. My M3 had it and I used it maybe twice, more of a gimmick. I never bothered tuning it in as it would always need redoing, so did manual tune every time I used it. Its a neat toy, but at £710 no thanks. Not to mention with the switch over to digital they will all stop working...
