S600L Digital TV upgrade ?
Hi,
I have a 2004 S600L with an analogue TV tuner. Obviously it doesn’t work anymore. I asked the dealer if they can replace the magic box with a digital one and they told me they have discontinued the digital receiver due to lack of demand !? *bizarre*.
They said to speak to a third party after market car audio specialist ?!
So, two questions;
1) Is that true, is the MB digital tuner box discontinued ? Are they available on ebay, etc ? Is it a part number minefield, or is it easy to find them and get the right one for my car ?
2) If I can’t buy a MB original one, Any recommendations on who to speak to, to get the TV tuner upgraded to digital? Is there a third party direct replacement, or am I looking as a gaffer taped solution? ;-)
(ok, so that’s 6 questions ... :-)
Thanks.
Jon.
