Sat Nav wide screen
Is it possible to replace the small TV unit with the bigger wide screen BMW unit (2005 ztt 190se) and if so is it just "plug n play"

Yes you can just replace but it needs to be the one with the cassette deck behind the screen and not the CD player. You will also need a widescreen tv unit or you will get a 4 by 3 image on the wide screen.

The TV bit is the one to the left as you look in the boot. As far as a the CD model I think you need the BMW radio module I also think that you cannot get the CD changer to work with the CD screen.

You may be lucky at your cars age as Greeners told me that some of the later cars had tuners fitted that were 16:9 compatible.

For information the original radio tuner in my 54 plate 75 worked with the BMW widescreen I fitted before upgrading the rest of the system. nb: if you want TMC to work without having to be tuned to Classic the BMW BM24 twin radio tuner module is the way to go, also plug and play. AFAIK if you want to install a CD bord monitor (head unit) you will require a BMW BM54 twin tuner radio module for the CD to work. Problem is that an expensive adaptor cable, or a DIY loom, will be required - not plug and play. Then to complete the upgrade a BMW mk4 DVD navigation computer, and a BMW digital TV tuner or a freeview box. |

It needs to be one from an E46 and you will have to cut off the plastic lugs and trim the metal ones to match your existing unit.
See below. http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ad.php?t=45753 Just remember to test it works ok before you cut it. Other than that its plug and play and you may be lucky with the TV unit. Last edited by MN190; 15th November 2011 at 21:48.. |

190SETOURING: There was a rover part number for the dual tuner that was fitted to our cars right at the end this is: XQC000240. This is sometimes known as the BM54 BACK - this however is not the same as the regular BM54, but is round pinned so no need for the loom! As yours is an 05, it may be worth checking if your radio tuner has this part on it already! |
