TV in motion

........Has anyone had an OEM TV tuner installed in the last one year and has been able to get it to work while driving more than 12mph?

I send my Comand to Megacomm in Germany for disable tv interlocks. Good news, they have a device called MEGADIAG BOX that you can buy and you can set up your Comand without dismount your unit from your car.

...........Thank you for your response. I was able to progam mine here locally in Atlanta, GA but involved sopme complicated dance with the NEW star program. Megacom is very hard site to negotiate. I will look into the Megadiag box. Are you able to more easily acquire this item, if so I can buy it from you. Also, do you know if the Megadiag box will work with the new DVD comands?

.............Did a search on Megacomm.de for the Megadiag box. Not suprisingly, nothing came up. So, let me know if you have more information on how to acquire this item.

Hi, I have ordered a Megadiag box for me, it is not ready yet, I think will be on january, you have some versions, one of those, just for disable tv interlocks, the others to program tv button, config telephone etc, you have too, two versions, one pay every comand you disabled or pay free, the most expensive. Price around 1000 - 1500 Euros. At the moment, only for Comand CD based.

I got my Comand and TV from Steve in NL. Everything was programmed and interlocks disabled. It works perfect in motion displaying TV channel info in Instrument Cluster and also providing two additional AV inputs.

You must be careful when your car goes to the garage because when they plug the stardiagnosis the can remove tv interlocks again. When I do that, I remove my Comand fuse, and the stardiagnosis can´t "read" my Comand

Where are the antennas in your car? How long was all the Comand retrofit?
