Dear members

I am looking into buying a TV bypass for my 2012 HSE and wondered if any members had experience of how easy they are to install (ebay add says 100% plg and play).

Also if others have installed them do they find they are worth it and used. I was in a 4 hr jam on the M3 last month and the TV was great even with the sometimes fragile signal, but had to keep the crawl under 15mph to get a picture.

Interested in others points of view.

Cheers Yorkie

Never seen the point of them to be honest more than happy to listen to the Ipod for a few hours.
On the rare occasion that I have had the TV on (waiting for my kids from a party ) then I've driven off, the signal disappears fairly quickly and you can't even hear the thing, so the picture would be worthless anyway


Now if you could get a bypass for the bloody sat nav agree screen, that I would buy  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black

Ignoring it being illegal (im not a kill joy - although i would want your attention on my car rather than the TV)

I dont find the reception too bad - it can be hit an miss, but it could be worse, ive never used a bypass - but would suggest it would have the occasional use etc but real value is limited

why bypass that...what for?

Because if you agreed once, that should be enough for the next 6 years?  '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

Maybe I'll spend the money on some nice chrome exhaust tips.............

As said, gets on my tits having to constantly 'agree'. Especially if I press 'take me home' as we're going along if we've been out somewhere. Have to take your eyes off the road to press the bloody thing, VERY annoying!!! ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

A dangerous waste of money, plus risk of loosing your licence.
