Exactly the one I've been looking at. I can't make up my whether it will be any good. I want it mainly for the dab radio, though I think it's freeview radio. Are there different stations on freeview and dab?

I have exactly the same unit that has just been removed from my 4.8is as it is now redundant.

I can't remember if you just have to flick through the mode button or if it was an option you select under the menu button.

Either way if anyone wants it then just let me know as I'll do it cheaper than the eBay listing.

Still have the oe widescreen headunit sat in te garage too...

I looked at that tuner when I was upgrading the TV in my 330 but eventually decided on this

It was brilliant and worked far better than the factory tuner in my X5
You also have to get a tv input lead that plugs in to the tv tuner and then select Aux to watch tv
The only drawback is the sound is mono on the aux input

Do you have the blue and white plugs in the compartment where the unit is housed? If so then It just plugs straight in I believe.

As for price, tbh, just make me an offer as its just sat in the garage at the mo as I don't need it.
