Hello my english is not good, So excuse me if a make mistakes writing. Can anyone tell me the code of the TV tuner, that silver box who goes connected into the navigation system. Please i will be appreciate. my navi code is MR252679

[v8killa]

Also it has MMCS, is it possible to configure to work in English, the current owner said it can also be used to pick up tv if a special FM band exapander is bought.


Mate - if you get a TV picture from your MMCS, the rest of the club wants to know what "special FM band exapander" you have got, where from and how much.

They all need an fm expander, unless you live in japan, but I have never been able to get a tv picture from my mmcs with my fm expander.

p.s. you will love you new car when you get it.

Hi V8killa, first of all, I was only quoting what I was told, I hadn't even heard of MMCS up until that point, so less mockery please.
I have now learnt a little bit about the MMCS, and I'm sure there are video inputs in the back, so a seperate TV tuner or DVD player can be bought and plugged into the unit to make it play. I haven't had a look myself, but the there is VTR option in TV mode, which I sure is for an AUX device.


P.s thank you, and now I have her and yes I do love her bits

Must be the longest newbie thread, like eva!

I use my mmcs as a dvd player, I've got a dvd player plugged into the mmcs box with those video and sound inputs, then you just press vtr and it jumps straight to the dvd player

Is it easy to get to the back of the MMCS unit, where did you mount the player??

[bradc]

You don't need to plug it into the dash, just into the tv tuner. I haven't properly mounted it yet, I just have it sitting in the boot not as messy as in these pictures though.

hi Bradc
where is the TV tuner?? is the silver box on the left hand side of the boot, in the floor area by the CD changer??

[bradc]

nope, the box on the left is the sat nav, the silver box on the right in those photos is the tv tuner.

[cheese]

Oh... I will have to have a look for it then. Cheers Bradc

Hi Bradc I have taken out the little plastic tray on the right hand side of the boot but found nothing. I will continue to search for it, but is there a chance that i don't have one, or could it be somewhere else??

Yes. Quite often the TV box isn't there- it was an optional accessory in Japan, so it's not guaranteed to be there. Also, unless it's a fresh import, chances are a previous owner or the importer has chucked the box anyway.

Bummer,

cheers Kieran. I will look for an alterate method of hooking up an external video device to the MMCS. With a lot of and a lot of I sure I will sort something out.
