Would it make any sense to buy a 2nd hand Tuner instead ?
The OEM TV's send an analogue signal down a coax to the front to the MMI Control head. So you would still need an MMI control head with the FBAS connection to add the OEM TV module. Non-TV and non-RVC A8's don't have this connection on the MMI control head. The Control Head has component protection so if swapped this would need to be removed by the dealer, to add further costs. John's method is best as his module sits between his existing MMI control head and the screen... Actually this is not so dissimilar to the Japanese spec A8 as they have an LVDS switch at the same location to switch for the Jap spec sat nav.
