miketonny 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 I have a BMW 525i Msports 2002 japan imported, so i think it has world tuner for it's radio, but i couldn't seem to get into the settings in tv. I've read jochen's post on how to change radio settings, but i couldn't find the 'M' button at all. I tried pressing every button on my tv unit for at least 10 sec, none of them took me into the menu described. does anyone know how to do it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matt45 1 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 button combo should work ... definitely talk to grant about the Nav worth the $ IMO if your in AKL i can enable your TV in motion, and change radio region if you cant get the button combo to work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotwire 352 Report post Posted May 28, 2011 ^^^^^ You need a programme to be able to code it - Navcoder etc It can't be done remotely. I could do it if you were to send me the video module out of the car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
