Ive been told that the shark fin aerial has 4 aerial built in. What sort of connection is for the tv tuner? Is it a standard aerial connection or is it BMW's own specific connection?

I would add my question on the same subject:
- Does anyone know if the GPS antenna (+ plugs + cables?) is already inside this "shark-fin"? Even if you don't have NAVI installed?

I think the shark fin contains only the sat nav gps aerial and the telephone/bluetooth external aerial. The TV antenna is within the rear window or tailgate window elements.
Don't know what sort of connection it has but I am sure someone will be along shortly to tell you.
From the real.oem site there appear to be 2 antenna types...one with just the phone aerial and one with both phone and gps. So it looks like you will only have the gps aerial if you have sat nav fitted.
