Tv Reception/conversion To Digital

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?

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.....

      Low Oil Pressure Light on E90

      ***OIL PRESSURE WARNING SOLVED***BMW E90 with same issue. Intermittent Oil Pressure Warning light for around a year. No performance issues or strange noises.Started when slowing down coming off highway and then progressed to when driving around town as well.Tried a can of Wynn's Super Charge Oil Treatment and after a few days light stopped coming on around town but still after highway driving. Bought another can and poured that in and six months later no warning lights. Guessing will have to do this again after next oil change but so far so good. Car running and sounding better also.

      Hi Jay You will need a Diagnostic Program to turn off an Airbag light if someone has triggered the light that could also be the issue Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave
