TV

Does anyone know if the TV's in our cars have RCA PHONO AUX INPUTS?
I am asking as it is not long before we go Digital and i was wondering how we will still be able to use them unless we can connect a Digital tuner or replace the whole unit which i am loath to do!

I don't think they have, there is an 'AUX' chanel on the tv but I think to use it you need to purchase an adaptor lead. I'm sure this lead gives you phono ins and outs.

You are Correct Mr Ian.
There is a Replacement BMW Digital TV Tuner but Mega Bucks at the Moment,
Or you can get several 12v Digital ones and use the Lead Mr Ian suggested (£29.99) and playback through AV channel.
Quality is very dependent on Signal Strength, and is non existant on the move!
