It's a total of one AV (AudioVideo). So two of those are for sound, and the other ones are probably for the picture. I don't know why it's two, maybe BMW splits the video signal up somehow... I don't know. But BMW confirmed that it is ONE AV input.
Somebody said the TV module is not required to get this settop box to work.
But what you need is the CCC (nav pro), because the FBAS signal needs to be converted into RGB, for displaying color pics on the CID (screen). And that conversion is done by the CCC.

I don't know about the activation, but the input is a video signal FBAS. Normal Cinch output on a vcr or video camera is also FBAS, the CCC converts it into RGB for displaying it on the screen.

There is a manual taht comes with it, but it's not worth anything. It's basically for the remote...
No, Germany - not Belgium.

As you can see in the pic they are no Cinch inputs. So I need the dealer to do it and can't do it myself. I also don't know which ones are for Audio and for Video.
