Does anyone have this on their e60 in US? if so, how did you get it and how was it enabled?


Does the car have to have Nav for this option or it coule be any e60?

Mike - Not sure if the analog signal going away has any effect on this. Just a heads up.

Oh, I dont want to pick up TV through it.. i jsut want the Video enabled and the "TV" option available in the idrive... Its for the Dension AVR plugin...

So the signal can dissappear, its for video on USB or Ipod. =) through the Dension.

Not talking about that, I'm talking about the OEM TV option for e60.

The Idrive will have an option, like, FM AM CD TV. I used to have Nav2go and never hooked it up. Sold it a while ago.

If it was euro-only then it's probably PAL and not NTSC so won't work in the US.

You dont have your find a TV Tuner for the Dension AVR, just install the Dension AVR and then find an aftermarket BMW specialist who will programme the TV option in for you.
