    Tv Activation?

    I Know this has been brought up before but i have found nothing relating to an answer?

    Is there a way of enabling the TV? is there hardware needed or is it a software switch that needs turning on?
    Any light on this would help as I've tried searching a few other forums but to no avail.
    Thanks Sam

    The tv tuner is an option. Are you sure you have it?

    Sam, did you tick the options box for the TV/dual view when you bought the car?

    If so, then there should be an option on the infotainment screen, in the media section, next too the dvd, radio thumbnails, where there is also a TV option.

    Am guessing you have purchased a preowned car, and by the sounds of it, there is no TV.

    With regards too the hardware, I presume that there is a DTV box that they fit too the car, once you pay for it, or the DTV is already there in all cars, and activated via CCF files at the factory or by the dealer?

    Will take photos tomorrow if I get time Thumbs Up

    Hi thanks for the reply’s, yeah I brought mine used and there is no TV option in the media, I used to have it on my Evoque but I was wondering if it needs hardware like dtv tuner or if it’s preinstalled and just needs activation? As I’ve read a couple of threads that suggests this but no conclusive answer. I suppose I’ll have to call a dealer to ask one way or the other?
    Thanks Sam

    Digital TV / Dual View Screen.

    If you search for the above thread, I have posted up a possible way of getting TV in the car.

    Be good to post your findings Thumbs Up

    Thanks very much for the info but I might wait until my next one and make sure it has the tv on it as it was only for the kids in the rear screens I might as well just buy a hdmi one for now, although seeing wires is a pet hate of mine.
    I just hoped it was a nice simple solution but these are landrovers!

    Yes, I would want to know if the DTV box is part of the infotainment system, or a stand alone box that can be taken out when selling the car, for putting into the next one. Mind you probably be new connections knowing my luck. 😂

    Am the same regarding wires, it's a pet hate.

    I am going to purchase a DTV box, as I have an old stereo which had analogue TV in it. Now that analogue signal was cut off several years ago, it's just picking up the white noise. So instead of shelling out on a new headunit, should be an easy fix via the phonos at the rear of the unit.

    Post how you get on with the TV via the HDMI please.

    I am currently playing about with the HDMI, where I have fitted reverse cameras to both trailers. Not had time to post up the results due to work commitments and Mrs using it as her daily driver.

    Will post up shortly Thumbs Up

    Russell, am on the case. Will be getting done during the kids October break. Need a few extra pairs of hands. One too sit in the car and tell me if there is an image coming up on the screen and another too stand behind the camera and help with wiring up the transmitters. It's a bit fiddly, plus I got so fed up running about like a headless chicken when i tried it myself, I gave up Laughing
    The cameras are fitted, just the transmitters and wiring into the trailer lights that needs done, plus yet too test the HDMI for a signal, as I was using a reverse mirror camera originally, but prefer to use the infotainment system.
