Adding TV TUNER to 8.8" NAV/DVD - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

TJF30 · 08-16-2012, 04:58 PM

Does the 8.8" system (DVD/NAV) have an auxiliary AUDIO AND VIDEO input? I would like to add an external IDSB-T tuner and wonder if I'll need an interface or I can add it easily?

My car does not have additional cameras and I'v seen the 8.8" with front and side camera options, so I assume an auxiliary video input should be no problem (camera has no audio, so maybe audio would be the problem) if the side/front camera inputs are the only inputs available? Then again, the camera interface/screen is smaller, so not sure if it would work at all???

Thanks

No, there are no a/v inputs built-in. If u want a/v input u'll have to fit an aftermarket interface box that goes between the CIC & the screen.

What do you guys recommend for the interface? What's best these days?
