Yes that's the TV Module and it will be analogue for a 53 plate.

Do you have a reverse camera or TV screens in the headrest? If not, it can come out.

Because that's the only thing left down there I have remounted bm54 and the pdc box in right hand compartment so only battery in there just in case any issue with leaks

Was that a mission or a case of unravelling the loom and moving it to that location.

Brilliant tip for anyone else, I can't move mine there because of the sub box but well thought!
