Enabling TV Function

[pimpassdaddy]

Hi guys

My car (07, e92) has the Professional Navigation system. I dont have TV function enabled.

Can this be done? What would I need to buy if so?

Thanks :rollsmile:

The last time i found out it couldn't be done. But then again i think the dealers just can't do it period.

However, even if you can have it done its gonna cost you big time and the reception is kak most of the time.

What actually do you want to have enabled?
TV or DVD whilst driving?

If TV the next question is "Do you have a TV module installed?"

I want the TV Function. Its not active. I would think there's no TV module installed, and that's what I'd like buy and install if feasible.

I have a DVD drive where the NAV disk goes, and have also wondered whether a DVD movie can be played off this.

Next question is:

TV module in digital DVB-T or analog TV which will end in 2013 I believe?

Well I'm more interested in the cost, so maybe both modules so I can evaluate the financial viability of the project.

OK ... second hand ones go for about R3500+
For viewing whilst driving you need to add another R1000 for the mod

Thats a rough figure so you can sort budget out :=):

I don't think a DVD movie will play from your nav disc DVD slot
Well I know it doesn't play from mine, I have to use my 6 DVD disc shuttle in my cubby to play a movie :thumbs:

@Scouse
Your X6 should have 2 DVD slots in your middle console...
One is for the SatNav DVD and the other one for Movie DVDs (well at least its like this in my X5)

In this case one can "enable" viewing whilst driving through a software mod!

@Coisman
I don't have any kids.

@Scouse
I reckon this is because I still have the old gen idrive. I've played with the new generation one, and it is amazing. I enquired about doing a retrofit of the new one that has BMW apps etc... Bout R20k... Definitely not worth it!

Well, pimp, just dont be looking at your porno while driving ok. :fencelook:

I agree with Coisman - some things can be very distracting. No TV in the car for me thank you.

Just imagine you watching SABC news about an accident on the highway, just to realize they are reporting about you... :fencelook:
