Default Idrive TV Analogue setting to switch to digital

I heard there is a setting to switch the TV in my idrive from analogue to digital Mpeg2?

Anyone know where the setting to switch is?

I've a 2006 530d with full media/sat nav pro package.


There is a setting "tv standard" to change country,, surely one of these countries have only digital mpeg2 without analogue? Is it as simple as change to a country (that has digital only) ?

you need to change your tuner module, which is quite a big job due to the oem ariel placement being built into the rear windscreen

Hi

Not correct , it's very easy to change the Analog TV tuner to a Digital one , just "plug & play" takes about 5 minut's , is located at the left taillight , behind the cover.

NB: Have one up for sale ( 300Euro+shipping ) if you need one.

Can you show me it in action? Will it support the irish MPEG4 signal?

Do the US cars have a TV option? Something that can be done through coding?
