Don't bother with it, especially at those prices. The signal breaks up the minute you move the car, rendering it un-watchable and therefore pretty pointless.

Even if for static use, you have to retune it every time you want it, as your location change means a different signal is required. Tedious imo and ime

Just don't move the car and it works fine lol

I had a digital tuner in my 330 and it was great even on the move. I put the aerials in the back bumper and it also had a record function and usb so you could put music on a memory stick and play it through the tuner the only drawback was the input lead is only mono but it still sounded ok.
The tv in motion can be unlocked by reprogramming, any decent independant dealer will be able to do it I paid £20.00 to have mine done.
The tuner I had was this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Beat-DVB-200-Car- ... 51964d184a
You don't have to retune the unit as it searches for stations and updates automatically and will tune to the best signal.
Even though I have got a digital tuner in my X I am thinking of getting one as it is so much better than the oem tuner.
I wish I took it out of the 330 before I PXed it now
Hope this helps

Is that plug swappable with OEM analogue tuner? In other words does the picture come through the TV option on the main display?

You put the tv on av the existing tuner stays in place and you have to buy a av input lead that plugs into the tv tuner
