Sat Nav Tv/video Input

ashpilot · June 13, 2008

I was thinking of adding a tv tuner to my IS250, Not to be viewed while driving but its nice to listen to TV programs when there nothing on the radio.

I've seen this item on eBay which allows audio and video inputs.

Item 220243384545 on ebay

And this tuner connected to it.

Ebay item 360059650833

Has anybody installed screens in the headrests?

Or do you know of another system to do the same job.

You need a diversity (twin tuner) Freeview box to get any sort of descent reception.

Seen a good one on eBay for about £99 plus shipping. Same one as in the above mentioned thread.

thanks for the info,

just need to find out where to put the tuner and aerials, space under the dash seems to be limited.

Thx for the info.

I ordered the bits which arrived quickly, just need a little time to plan the installation and pull the car to bits.

Ill try and photograph the installation and post it when I can.

The only problem I can see is the aerial location, which positions gave the best results?

Aerial location is not a problem at all. If you store your DVB-T Tuner in the glovebox, you can simply run wires from behind, along the side of the car (under Illuminated Door Sill) to the back beneath the windscreen.
