PLEASE - PLEASE - PLEASE!!!!


Does anybody know an audio installer that can hack into the inboard audio system of and E65 7 series - I want to add sun visor monitors and headrest monitors running from a 6 disc DVD changer but everyone tells me there is no way to run either the audio or video through the main system (I would settle for just the audion as the video will be handled by the outboard screens.

Please help me!!!!!

I have an '02 745i and had a din sized DVD player with TV tuner put in place of the back seat cupholders that come out of the front of the seat. I had my local audio shop put in a NAV-TV module that uses a little switch under the dash to change the picture from the navigation screen to the DVD or TV. As part of the install, the audio shop removed my control unit and shipped it overnight to the NAV-TV company who has their techs add audio inputs to the radio and ship it back overnight. The audio shop then reinstalls everthing. I always had a little crackle every once in a blue moon since I got the car and asked my dealer to check it out when I brought it for normal oil change. They went ahead and replaced one of the amps which stopped working a day after I picked it up. I brought it back later that same week to get it checked out. Apparently, the amp was defective and just needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, their first reaction was to blame the NAV-TV module and said it caused the amp to go bad and were telling me my warranty wouldn't cover it and it was getting into over $2,000. I called the audio shop that installed the NAV-TV 6 months earlier and they said they know it has nothing to do with them but sent their head installer to the dealership. Apparently the audio shop told the dealership that they would pay for the repair, but they wanted to see what was damaged and how it happened so that they could make sure they didn't make the same mistake again. After getting to the dealership, the BMW tech didn't know how the NAVTV module worked and after a 20 minute conversation, I got a call that my warranty would cover all repairs (replacing the defective amp installed 5 days earlier). I'm telling you this so that you know that these modules just act like a switch between the video out of the NAV with the added DVD player on the wire that goes between the NAV and front TV screen. The audio is added at the NAV-TV company which probably voids the warranty on that particular part (radio brain) through BMW, but offer there own warranty in it's place. BMW has a european retrofit module with TV tuner and input which I see on eBAY and seems to just plug inline, but you cannot play any video on front screen unless stationary. I can always watch TV with the NAV-TV module. I believe NAV-TV is the brand if you want to google it or you can get it on ebay!
