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 ?

    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
