Can't get the tv to work even with ignition off just white speckles

At the rear of the car there is a AV in and out port along with TV button

I plugged a media device into the AV port using a 3.5mm jack  4pole AV lead and then set TV to AV says no signal or bad connection

Did some more digging about and found a Digital TV tuner in boot behind panel on right side

Conducted a reset it also had AV in so attached media player to that and still no joy

The Video wires seem to go towards the boot so unsure what's there.

Just to confirm the av wire wasn't faulty i tested it at home on tv all ok


Could someone advise if I am doing something wrong or using wrong AV cable in the AV port
I want to run a media device to the screen so that I can select more music etc

Also is there anyone local to cov that has a BMW scanner and can set TV in motion along with auto lock doors for me

It's a four ring jack if I remember correctly.  Video/L/R/Ground.  Can't remember which order though but you're using the right type.

My cable only got 3 rings on it could this be the issue?

Any ideas where can get correct cable if mine is wrong

Tip plus three rings yes?  If so that's the right one I think.

R

Yeah that's the one

Is there anything else I can check as
Nothing showing on the tv and no AV in working

When I select tv message comes
Up HD DVB would that possibly mean that there is a aftermarket player somewhere or has been historically?

Is the tv tuner normally in location I state? It has f connectors on it and video input and output

Never actually see the tuner, but it's in the right location.  Does any TV channel work?  There are HD DVB broadcasts now up but the BMW receiver cannot process them.

R

nothing works not even TV channels but think they maybe disconnected no idea

i am going to have another go at it next week and if i fail call in the professional

although I did read somewhere that the media device you connect to the AV add on has to be grounded to car chassis anyone aware of this>>

Fixed was a grounding issue on the device along with tehered cable

all sorted now and its fantastic
