Digital TV Tuner Inputs?

Hi Guys,

So while i was changing my lights over to the face lift versions.

I saw this whilst the side panel was removed and was wondering it looks like audio and video inputs into my TV tuner.

What would i actually use these for and why are they included with the car?

Have you guys ever found any decent use for them???

It was located in the boot/trunk.
My sclass is a 2007 model.
I'm pretty sure it's oem certainly don't look aftermarket. I have digital TV on my command and can watch it at the front.

Those TV tuner AUX inputs are standard RCA inputs for stereo audio and video. You can connect any audio/video source via that interface.

To use this would you need to 'enable aux' in Star?

Rather then installing the aux-cable on back of the headunit in the dash ?

This would give more space for misc. a/v equipment (Mirabox) in the trunk.

Are they both inputs? Or one input one output?

I don't think it's that cut and dry. I am guessing, but I am going to bet that maybe one of them is the AUX that usually goes to the glove box, or perhaps it's for other equipment the car could have came with. I know the 220's had TV tuners in Europe.. Maybe that's where it goes on the 221 if you get that option..

YEs on the R class in Europe I believe there was also TV on screen so likely some sort of facilitation for TV (that has to be activated ofcourse with STartools). Verboten in North America to watch TV and drive don't you know.
