as implied above, i have a tv installed in my car but don't know how to tune it...

do i need an aerial or whatever?

i don't know what i need, basically, i have a tv that flips out when i tell it to but only has two channels, AV1 and wait for it... AV2

how do i get normal tv channels, i am n00b hence the question, you guys just know i'd appreciate all the help in the world and i would love it if you could just tell me what i'd have to do to get it working, cheers

Andrew :)

You'd need a TV Tuner & AV Adapter for it, and also an External TV Aerial that plugs into the aerial connection that's on the Tuner Box.

If it had TV Antenna Input straight away on the unit, that'd make things a whole lot easier lol.

is it a jap tv, if so you need a ntsc to pal converter. i had one originally in mine but it was too hard and bulky to get going. also due to the distance the main tv stations are away. tv antennas in your car don't work to well. only thing i done was hooked up a portable dvd player that could play ntsc.

Connector: acc power (red) audio/video (AV) input connect, the rich connect outside the input of power = negative on TV capability, unless you do what I said, which involves buying more stuff and will be a real headfcuk, and even then no gurantee you'll get good reception from it. :D

Bahaha. Good work Eric! Gotta read that fine print!

Andrew... buy a DVD head unit without a screen, get an Alpine one that can use you iPod more efficiantly (thru the head unit itself) plus all the tuning and that, and just plug it into you head unit.

Having said that... Often it is better to go for the more expensive and safe option rather then the cheap and "easy" way out!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
