Is there something that needs to be reset to get it to tune NZ TV or is it the missing aerial on the roof?? Go into TV, into TV-mode & scroll countries. If no NZ option (quite likely - dumb I know) find & tune into either PAL Europe or Switzerland - same as NZ. If you want TV in motion, NZ nav & an integrated reversing camera - PM me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
58rabbit 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2011 cheers for advice have tried PAL Europe with limited success, I presume that it helps if you are line of sight with the transmitter?? where I live in AK is not very good for TV reception. Another thing, I suppose these TV's will not work when the analogue is switched off next year?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not the OEM as it is but there are options in adding digital via it's AV input facility so won't be a problem. If on PAL Europe - your limited success will be due to location. Try it if/when you are in the city Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RustyItalian 11 Report post Posted November 23, 2011 Try Austria. Works on mine in Auckland. Depending on location and buildings reception can be crap at times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charles28 130 Report post Posted December 19, 2011 I couldn't get mine to work, I tried Austria and Pal Europe, but what I noticed is, it still goes back to the Japan setting.. I assume once I select the country I then do the search option? when I choose this option it seems to scan channel numbers and basically do nothing else..

It will work on PAL Europe, Switzeland & from above -obviously Austria (though I haven't tried). It shouldn't return to Japan - I have never seen this happen before. If there is reception, once searching it should scan available stations. Otherwise try manually scanning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotwire 352 Report post Posted December 19, 2011 That looks to be the GPS aerial lead. Where is the video module located? Behind the rear seat or L/H rear corner? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its behind the rear seat, (Jap Import Model) I almost had a picture on it earlier, but not quite, gave me the option to store what it found, 1st time its done that.. perhaps its an antenna problem of some kind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted December 19, 2011 Maybe an antenna issue - looks to be some rougue wiring in the car. Maybe something has been tampered with. Yes the module is connected correctly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us I think you'll find the grey coax in the pic is for the JBIT phone system. - not the tv antenna. something suspicious with the returning to japan setting... as mentioned, its strange that it returns to japan, Are you definitely selecting another area? - or just scrolling to it?? - (push the knob in when you get to it). - I hope i'm not stating the obvious... good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
