Bought a new in car retractable dvd unit. The thing is awesome, however i would like to watch tv stations on it as dvd's arent worth it as i live in a smallish town, drives are 15 minutes at the most.

I would like to know do i need a receiver to watch news stations etc?

How much are they?

Will the dvd deck i have be able to display tv stations using just the antenna without having to buy a receiver of some sort?

Any help woudl be greatly appreciated

the pioneer ones are about 550 buks or so if u get them from the right place (from memory)

and i would strongly recommend on not watching tv/dvd etc while driving. Ive done this b4 in my 33 and its pretty dangerous so I dont do it anymore

i have never stocked panasonic units before so i am not familiar with them but you will need to check if panasonic make a TV receiver that will interface with the dvd unit and touch screen ( asuming it has touch screen control) if they dont then you will need to buy a stand alone TV receiver that will just output into composite RCA. then youl be able to plug that into the video input on the screen and get the picture that way.the unit will need an external antenna and will have some sort of remote control that comes with it.

some cheapo dvd units will come with a tuner inbuilt but just about all of them will need some sort tunner add on to receive TV stations.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      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.
