Analogue TV change to digital
If I wanted to update the analogue TV receiver, to digital, 1) is that possible, 2) what specific unit would I need to buy?

H - so is there a specific part numbered unit I should get?

You are looking for the hybrid TV tuner from a BMW E39 or E46, do an Ebay search but they are not cheap, £140+ 2nd hand and rarely available in the UK, the vast majority for sale on Ebay are in Europe.

all ok, price is no object.

Would this work?

Thanks. So were there any digital/hybrid tuners for the 4:3 screen ratio, as I don't want to swap head units.
Or - assuming I"m ok with a squashed picture, will the unit above still work? |
hi to all
if you want to upgrade from analog to digital you can do it your self have a look at this site of how to do it http://pibus.info/tv/ then for the dvb-t tuner or the dvb-t2 tuner you can buy from aliexpress have a look at these options DVB-T Digital TV For BMW X3 E83 DVB-T TV For BMW E38 E39 E46 X5 E53 X3 E83,Z4 E85 DVB-T2 H.265 Digital TV For BMW E38 E39 E46 X5 E53 X3 E83 Z4 E85 ,Range Rover L322,Rover 75,MG ZT / MG ZT-T as for the head unit you do not have to change to a widescreen unit if you fit the upgrade tuners to your existing video module it stays at 4.3 have a look at the pibus website it shows how to upgrade your existing video module hope this helps david |
Hi,
It's possible as I have one and my son Jake was watching tv on it today when I was in the CO OP picking up a few things. Depending on where you are you may get a decent signal. Jake hates shopping so loves this feature on our 75. I got a 12v digi box off gumtree which is for camper vans and mobile applications. I believe I needed a simple loom and got everything working for £30-£35 all in. The digi box lives in the boot and there is a receiver in the car so the remote control works. The receiver cable can run alone the sill trim and I've stuck mine on to the dash. Cheers, James |
