2004 3.0is TV Module Connections

Post by CHUNKYDOOR » Thu Sep 22, 2016 7:31 pm

Hello all, I'm new a newbie in need off help. I've recently got an E53 3.0is 2004 with a business stereo, satnav, screens in headrests and cd changer. It's got a separate dvd changer connected to the headrests. The previous owner had fitted a parrot 3200LS kit. When I got the car the radio wasn't working. I took out the radio module and checked that. Whoever had fitted the parrot had wired it up wrong. So now that's all working. But when I was looking in the boot area I noticed there was no TVs module so I've ordered one off those to fit but now I've looked and can't find the 2 plugs that fit into the tv module. I've looked everywhere. I would off thought they had come factory fitted. On some models did they leave the harness out.
What's my best option to do?
Any help much appreciated
Ian

If the car was built with the Business radio/ cd and not factory Sat nav it has a different loom, as there was no screen to play TV through.
Also the star nav cars have the radio module in the boot, as yours is in the dash.
Mine had the business /cd / MID setup and didn't have any spare plugs in the boot, l fitted an aftermarket satnav to gain a screen BT etc

Cheers Horizon,
The X5's got the 16:9 business stereo up front and the DVD satnav, cd changer and radio module all in the boot. It's also got front and rear parking sensors with the module behind the radio module. But no plugs for the TVs module.

Sorry, thought when you mentioned business stereo you meant the single slot dash mounted one.
Sure someone will know the answer.
