sburke1 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hello gents. Anyone able to shed some light on this for me? Am considering bidding for a sat nav on ebay and the thought of a tv tuner is very appealing. Just wondering, has anyone else bought a sat nav on ebay? If so, any problems?

silentandy Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 There's no TV tuner in the OEM sat nav, you have to buy the tuner box separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke1 Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Are they expensive? Does it involve much remedial work? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Might need an extension lead if you go for cable TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyGTI Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Looks to be something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DVD-TV-Multimedia-...36724QQihZ007QQ I know it's not TV exactly but it was worth the post.I Never knew it existed until tonight, might be worth getting at some point.

sburke1 Posted September 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 This may be a very stupid question but can one actually watch say, terrestrial tv on it? Or is it purely for PS2's and DVD output? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhs Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Certainly with the BMWs I've been in, yes you watch normal TV.... or you can watch a DVD. UK sets are coded so the screen "blanks out" when the car is moving, but there are loads to companies around that will "upgrade" this so you can watch your DVDs (or TV - but reception not always great) and drive at the same time (or do I mean risk-crashing at the same time!

sburke1 Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Can one buy the DVD of the maps as an original part from vw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswastle Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 yes you can, but they are very expensive, £200+. Buy the sat nav with the disc. Failing that a version 3 sold for £50 last week on Ebay ( this is the very latest edition) hope that helps.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
