So I have a CCC with SatNav and TV module.
Just had Dension Gateway 500 + AVR installed.

Videos from the iPod work fine, but the TV seems to be disabled now.

Do I get this right, there is no way to use a factory TV if you install the AVR?

I think its going to be like the CDC, you can't use that when you have the Dension on. There must be a switch on the AVR that disables that and allows your TV to be seen. Note Dension is only fooling to car to think that the AVR is the TV, the car cannot recognise two TVs, in the same way that you cant install two CDCs.

If so, it would be another great reply by Bruce

A physical switch (like a button) or some menu bypass?

(anyway, the installation guys couldn't find either )

"If you wish to use the factory TV-Tuner, please set the Gateway 500
to bypass mode. In this case all Gateway and AVR functionalites will
be disabled."

Bruce, so this means AVR video + factory TV can not be used together?
I can only use only either one?
