Analogue to Digital TV?

Stoperton · 22nd August 2011, 21:07

Is it possible to buy a converter to allow the Highline factory fitted units to receive digital TV? What unit/fittings are required please?

About a £400 (if you can find one second hand) Hybrid Digital/Analogue BMW Tuner module to replace the Analogue one you'll have now

It is a direct swap with no adaptors needed though, which is "nice" lol

Get a 12v digi box from ebay for 40 - 100 quit and you can use it on the Av input

Hi Wyn. I know you've posted quite a few replies on this topic, as I'm trying to change my Highline TV to digital and I've been searching the forum. You're probably fed up with telling us individually how to go digital so can you post an idiot's guide?
I've got the twin aerial digibox you recommended.

I'm puzzled as to how to connect it to the existing system. I'd hoped the AV input to the car's TV module would be RCA connectors but it's not so simple! The Rover TV module has 2 multi-plugs, one blue and one white, but no other connections. How do I connect the output from the digibox to the AV input on the car's TV module? Since we no longer get analogue signals here, do I need to keep the Rover TV module or can I by-pass it completely? I assume that the power supply to the new digibox can be piggybacked from the supply to the existing module - which colours do I need to connect?
Sorry for barrage of questions, perhaps we can nail it here for once and for all.

Yes it was me, I'd just remembered I'd not clipped the drivers side plenum cover back in after showing Bill with the second black 260 where the heater control valve was located. Luckilly it was still there and just needed replacing properly.

Here you go for pin outs on the tuner, make the lead yourself and save £30

remember the input only has the capability of mono.
