You would need a very long cable to get around that way.

Maybe you should ask some of those people that have cable TV in their cars? I doubt anyone in the USA has it either, except maybe when parked in the garage.

So what you're saying is you are too lazy to do a search on this forum? But you have enough energy to type all that?

You have to understand that

1) you asked about "cable tv" which no one has in his car

2) you asked if "anyone" had any info

3) you didn't "reply" to anyone... you posted a new thread, so no one knows exactly what you are talking about

It would help if you explained first instead of getting your panties in a knot.



Hey, those things are pretty cool!

Steve (just search for "MbenzNL") installed a tv tuner in my 210. No cable hook up (it is possible to get direct tv, but the device i've seen goes on the roof and is huge). This is just regular tv. It works great. The main reason most people get the tuner installed tho is to hook up a dvd player and/or ps2, which I'm in the process of doing.
You just got to do your due dilligence, but you can't lose working with Steve. He is the europarts pimp.

Wow slow down boys

Here is how it works. I have it in my car. Now it is not cable or sat tv. What it is normal broadcast tv that you would pick up with rabbit ears on old tv's. You have to have a head unit or monitor with multiple inputs. I say multiple because I am sure you would be watching DVD's also. Now the channels ou get are the local channels in the area that the car is travelling in. The crappy part is that reception is not the nest all the time. I live in CT but get NY local channels and have strong reception which is good. Kinda cool watching football when in traffic monday nights and on sunday's. Hope this helps.
