  1. Hi all I have been messing with the TV function in my 2009 730d. It is NZ new and has the digital and analogue tv tuners. if I tune the tv (station search) it comes up with 2 digital tv and 2 digital radio. The tv stations are “Big Rig” and another I can’t remember. They both play music videos and work. The radio are Radio Aotearoa and Concert. Concert shows the program playing but neither radio has sound. The tv stations do. should it be able to tune more? Or has there been some change which means that the digital system of 2009 is not the digital system of today and I have no idea where these two channels come from. I can’t find either of them on Google etc. the region is set to Oceania/Australia. I have tried others (pacific ,west Europe , France) and they all work the same. Cheers Ken
  2. Hi everyone. Looking for some help here is anyone has run across this before. For background I have a 2000/9 E39 touring Japanese import. I replaced the Nav with a MKIII and the radio with a BM24. I coded the nav using NavCoder and It all seems to work OK (or did for maybe 6 months). What I get now is when starting the car, the orange light comes on and maybe 50% of the time no sound. If I turn the radio off and back on it usually (not always) works. However, sometimes the orange light comes on and the radio fires up right away. Most of the time the orange light does not come back on and maybe 30-60 seconds later the radio comes to life. If I have the screen on GPS it flicks to the radio screen when pushing the power, even when the orange light doesn't show up, so I know it has "recognised" the power on. Then after the delay, the radio comes on. Pushing any other buttons are also delayed - e.g. the tone will pop up maybe 30 seconds after it is pushed. I have a second BM24 and it behaves the same way. I am thinking the amp? Or maybe the Nav is doing something weird? This car to be fair feels strange though. I had a modlight 3 in my e38 which worked no problem. In this car it works, but prevents the car going to sleep so drains the battery. Starting to think maybe something is spewing data onto the canbus network or similar??? Cheers Ken
