Subject: yes, little box is video module, it is NOT a TV tuner... Author: davidf : member since March, 2004 : 959 posts Posted on: 2008-04-21 15:12:44

It does have the capability of two seperate video inputs. For instance a front and rear camera. It is my understanding tha the second (or front camara) input is speed controlled (meaning the video cuts out at 3mph or so). You can use the module for any video input (not just a camera) like a DVD or game console. However, the module does NOT have any audio function, so you would have to have a Audio Aux input elsewhere like via the tape deck or BM53 radio module.

The module is genuine BMW and has been around for awhile.
