OK! Just had a chat with the 2 installers and they found a digital TV Tuner with extra Audio Input for my iPod. Will cost $650.

Understand they installed this Tuner in an e60 last recently. Please post comments. I have scheduled install next Thursday.

Check with him on these :
- Does the tuner comes with two antenna inputs ?
- Does it resolve the issue of not able to view those channels on the move?

It would be the ultimate if the second is resolved.

Thanks

I'm ok with KL buta its a bit messy over there, not to mention the recent case. Only that KL might be a bit xiong but I'm sure all the carbon would have been cleared in the engine.

If we go KL we'll go straight to Hard Rock Cafe for lunch, take a smoke and come back. Parking there is quite safe. Can't remember the name of the hotel think its concours hotel or something.

If go Malacca would be the chicken rice ball again. Peaceful town. Should be back by 3- 4pm

Think Toto was mentioning something in the east like the B roads, but someone gotta take the lead who knows the way.

I can get another 4 bimmers to join in so I think this time the crowd would be around 10 cars

Anyone?

From my conversation with the 2 installers, they mentioned that besides TV Mobile, Channels 5, 8 and CNA can also be received on the move. But they did also qualify that reception is dependent on speed and location.

Yankee, I am asumming that you are the one who has installed the digital, 2 antenna Tuner. What is your take on this tuner? Worth the money?

Cheers,

KL is really messy. Plenty of traffic lights like SIN and some of us are gonna get left behind. Not a very good idea. Going up Genting is also another choice. We don't have to go there to gamble; just drive up, relax at Coffeebean and then come back down again. I understand there are a few reasonably good eateries on the way up. This trip is gonna be approx 380Km long and going at an average speed of approx 180Km/h, we should be there within 2.5 hours (after crossing the checkpoints). I'd therefore recommend starting early - maybe about 6.00am just to avoid checkpoint crowds and to ensure a smooth run up.

Sounds good. Simple and straightforward route. I'd better replace by tires before the trip just to be safe.
Anyone else game?
