karl26 · 11-27-2005, 07:30 AM

Does any know of there is a way to unlock the TV while driving on the E90 ?

thanks very much

Whew! I thought you were admitting that you are a transvestite while driving. I was hoping I'd never winked at you at a red light.

That's about as good an idea as having a snooze button on a smoke alarm...

2 typical examples of people narrow minded above ....

of course,I am not gonna watch TV while driving !! but on the E90, the lock is really really sensitive and even if you move slightly the car to get better reception, the screen stops.

How is making a joke narrow minded? Lighten the fuck up. Or, are you really a tranny?

And ZenDriver was simply responding to the way you made your post: TV while driving... and does anyone know how to unlock the TV while driving... perhaps if you phrased your post better you wouldn't set you self up to be so easily offended.

What kind of TV are you talking about?

karl26 · 11-27-2005, 02:17 PM

Stew> the TV you can get as optional (using the Nav screen)

StewtheBassman · 11-27-2005, 04:04 PM

This is in the UK? Or is it heavy duty aftermarket?

Costa · 11-27-2005, 06:33 PM

When you get Prof Navigation & I-Drive you also get TV ... in Australia. I'm guessing the same is true for the UK?

It would be good to be able to unlock it so the kids can be occupied in the back seat.

That would be so cool here, I could play the business news on my way in to work, and sports news on the way home......

Thanks but it looks like it is only available in Germany ?

Seamoon, this cable looks like it may be just providing TV functionality for those who don't have it on I-Drive. Are you sure disables the function that switches the TV off while the car is moving ?

No, you need the TV-function for the I-Drive original from BMW. This "cable" only enables the TV-function while you are driving (I guess it´s for your passengers

)

Yes, I am.

That sounds good. Does it come with installation instructions - I am guessing I will have to get in behind the front console and fiddle with cables ?

Haha. I thought it was funny.

seamoon · 12-06-2005, 04:29 AM

@ Costa
Yes, it comes with an instruction, but I didn´t read it.
I recived my shipment, took it to my local BMW-Dealer, and told him to install this modul (he´s a buddy).
So I´m sorry, but I can not predict the expence...
Cheers
