Hi all

how do you connect to the av on the tv screen in the front

is it plug and play or do you need to splice cables

There only seams to be blue plug, white plug and two coax leads

Basically i have dvd/monitors in the headrests and was wanting to link one of them up to the front

so as the dvd plays it comes on the front screen aswell

thanks in advance

Hi Sturach
Here are the actual pin configurations, you can buy the pins from BMW and make your own cable using pins 4,5,6 and 15 on the white plug



or you can buy one of these cables and just plug and play
but make sure you get one with reverse camera capabilities if you have one fitted.

hope this helps

Would you still need to have the TV in motion enabled to make this work whilst on the move??

Yes

You can buy a tv in motion cable, from Toys in Your Car, which is similar to the one in my above post or you can activate it with a Resler and some software ( Navcoder )

Hi

thanks i'll have a look at that

I have tv in motion enabled by scanner

i also have the toys in your car tv in motion lead which i've now removed which i might put in the sale forum

The problem is the freeview signal is crap (passenger only !!!) so i thought the dvd idea would be better for long journeys

Hi Kena

did you splice the cables in or buy that lead?

I bought the lead but my reverse camera wnet off so I made up that part of the lead and added it to the lead.
I have a 100gb hard drive / media player installed and my signal was very poor so i added something similar to one of these boosters and everything was then fine.
