Tv Reception/conversion To Digital

[colinnorman]

I have just bought a great 323ci which has a factory fitted small monitor/screen for computer read-outs etc, including TV (+ GPS which has been removed). The GPS box is now missing from the boot, and the TV was analogue - so it cannot receive any signals at present. Is there a simple way of upgrading to digital ( as we recently had to do at home)? Unless the solution is a simple plug and play, might it be better to go to specialist for advice and fitting? BMW dealer wanted me to book it in to see what is possible, but I guees any solution from BMW will be arm and leg which I would rather not lose at present! Can anyone direct me to online help etc? I also have 2 DVD/video monitors fitted into headrests, but again the previous owner has removed the video cassette player that fed them................it would be great if I could direct TV signals to them also, but that might just be a step too far?? There are some wires and connectors under the center ski bag space between the back seats. I am amazed at all the extra spec in this motor compared to my previous Merc C class - which I am more convinced than ever now was pretty boring in comparison. Surely everyone with pe-digital TV receivers has had this same problem - but I cannot find solutions on this site, and others are non BMW specific. Any suggestions please?

Yes, BMW do a digital version but VERY expensive... You could try an aftermarket conversion, many on ebay!

Still want to get TV working, but very confused after researching internet + ebay. This topic probably been done to death, but can anyone point me in direction of previous postings with possible links to photos/vidoes of how to tackle the job?

TBH I don't know of anyone (personally) that has done the aftermarket conversion...

Got a TV in my one, works ok but does depend on where i am, where i live i get avery fuzzy pic but when i took my football i got all channels and crystal clear pic, so with mine it just depends where you are, my mates ones are the same and as far as i am aware they have nt been upgraded... but like Dabsy says you can get upgrades on ebay for £50-£80 with freeview and look easy enough to install.....
