Surly just a small 12v digibox, like the bush scart one, rf modulator and rf extender for the remote. Tuck it all behind the dash??

Actually these have a wired IR for rempte, and some already have rf out.

Yes but here is the snag normal TV's have an RF socket ( aerial input ) and OR a scart lead so where is it on the volvo ?

On the V70 its under the rear seat in the cargo bay I have found the aerial connectors and power to it and then a 8pin Din type of plug and with the Din plug out the Screen folds back into the dash same as when I dissconect the power the Screen goes back into the dash

It must have a rf in for uhf 21-69 that a modulator would use somewhere?? As that is how it would of tuned in the analogue channels.?

If it was a normal TV yes but the Display in the dash is like a monitor and the TV tuner in the cargo bay is a silver box with NO scart or RF just an 8 pin din

And the signals are carried around on the fibre optic network for the hi-fi / phone / cd /TV systems

I will be very keen to know if this can be done as I have TV in my S60.

I did contact a company asking about this (can't remember who, maybe tvinmotion.co.uk) and they never bothered getting back to me.

Seriously....

At some point "The car" picks up the RF signals on some CO-AX that's the point you inject the modulated digibox signal!

THE S60 has the rf anteners in the rear bumper and possibly a electronics box behind the drivers side rear lights??

Maybe a start..

Gazzza · Dec 21st, 2011, 23:21

Yes I know what you mean but to inject the modulated digibox signal in to an anoluge box and you still getting anolouge out thats the problem its worth a try tho but cant see it my self

thats why on a free view box you need to use a scart lead it bypass's the tuner . . or does it hmmmm got me guessing now

Gazzza · Dec 22nd, 2011, 00:00

Ok any one who has a free view box at home the aerial from roof goes to the Free view box and then it us's a SCART lead to the TV . . . ?

can any one tune there TV using the TV tuner from 21 to 69 get any pictures from the free view or does it only work on the scart lead using AV1 on the TV

Pictured below of what the unit looks like
