I am really interseted in installing the TV tuner in my 2005 530i in the US, and I was wondering if anyone has already done it and would be able to give me some info on how to do it. If anyone has already done it please post pictures since I would like to know what it looks like. Thanks for your help.

Is there an ATSC TV tuner for the E60? In the US on February 17th next year analog signals will be stopped by major broadcasters only digital ATSC will be available over the air. I would think it would be pointless to install an analog TV tuner in the car for this reason. You would be able to hook up a digital set top box to an ACM but could not select stations using iDrive.
