All people getting COMAND from Steve
I need some opinions as to what options you guys were getting from Steve when he gets here with the comands. Is it better to get the RGB or to get a TV tuner? WIth TV tuner can you stiill watch while in motion? I know with RGB you can watch dvd's in motion right?
For those of you getting RGB are you going to purchase a aftermarket dvd player and if so what kind and where are you planning on mounting it(glovebox?)? or would you guys recommend getting a ps2 since it will play dvd's anyways. but will a ps2 skip while driving?
Also what are the pros and cons between the RCAs and the headphone jack for the Aux connection? I mean you can adapt either one with a simple wire that converts headphone jack to RCA right? so if the RCA is cheaper why would someone choose the headphone jack?
Does anyone have a TV tuner hooked up to their COMAND? if so can you tell us whether it picks up the channels clearly and how many stations do you get?

I got my Comand installed by Steve the last time he was here. When I get my rgb converter, I'm going to hook it up to a dvd/tv tuner/mp3 player that I bought from Autotoys.com. It was about $179 when I bought it...not a bad deal. I also recommend getting a fiberoptic changer installed at the same time, unless you just want to use the dvd player to play the cds. I'm putting the changer in the trunk (can't really find another place to mount it), and I'm mounting the dvd player in the glovebox.

Yes, I bought the dvd player w/tv tuner from www.autotoys.com. Look in the dvd section, and you'll see a unit with a tv tuner built in. It also plays mp3s, vcds, etc...pretty much an all in one unit. It also includes a IR repeater, so you can access the unit using the remote, even if it's in the glovebox. Not bad for only ~$180.

Hey are you sure the dvd/tvtuner from autotoys will fit in the glovebox?? do you know what the dimensions are? I have a clk so i dont know if your glovebox is roomier than mine?
