Hey mate I am new to this forum and have been spending hours today trying to read all the stuff about getting the TV to work in V35.

Can you tell me what this cable does? I have a 03 Manual with the Bose 6 stacker and would like to get TV and Ipod working. Not to fussed about GPS and the CD works at the moment. If this lead wil help I would be keen.

Cheers,

Noel

The cable is so that you can put an NTSC video source into the factory tv tuner and then watch video on your screen. There is a plug for a VTR input on the tuner that it plugs into. The TV wont work it will need to have a new digital tuner installed and fed into the old one via that cable. Hope that helps.

Thanks Brad,

I am amazed by how much info there is on this site in relation to getting these Screens to work. When you say NTSC only does that mean if I had video files on say an Ipod that they would all have to be converted??

Am I right in thinking it would be better to get an aftermarket tuner then link the video input (im guessing this cable or something similar) in to that so that I can get the TV and PAL input through an Ipod or DVD?

I would like to try do myself but might have to just pay someone to fix it all.

It is a reasonably simple process to do yourself.

The TV tuner (with NTSC output) is available through Chook (member of SAU) but he is gathering orders at the moment to then get some more stock.

You ipod/iphone can output either NTSC or PAL, it is selectable in the settings. (I do this myself)

You can get an Iphone/Ipod dock that is designed to fit into the ash tray from Specdock that is a little more expensive than just a cable but a great option for a neat install.

The cable is KEY to add anything to the factor system.

I have added Headrest DVD players for the back seats but you need to make sure they are Auto Switching between PAL & NTSC.

Hi Andy,

You wouldn't be able to tell me what the name of this cable is ?
