also does a standard E60 come with an aerial for the Tv? or does and aerial come with the Tv tuner? Or is the radio aerial used for the Tv?

i do know what is freeview!! what do you think? do you think that you need to have the tv module already fitted?

Again a guess, sorry...

The aerial for the TV is in the rear window, and there are two of 'em in that rear window. My guess is, that the aerial is in the rear window, even if you don't have the TV function. But that's a guess only...
The radio uses one of the four antennas in the fin.

relax - didn't mean anything by that...

in terms of NEED, well, digital freeview doesn't require a standard TV tuner: you can hook up a freeview box to a monitor and watch away - but i cannot answer as to what this particular set of kit requires - sorry.

I've read it on this board, but don't remember what else is up there. But I remember it was 4 antennas in the fin. Let's think about it... RADIO, NAV, PHONE... Hhhhmmmm.... forgot it, sorry...

I think you can, but I've never seen the box in person yet.
I will get DVB-T for my car in October.

That sounds good!
Installation shouldn't be too complicated. My dealer told me it'll be done in one day.
