The digital tuner will work with existing rear window antennas too.

This upgrade path won't require changing the cable between the head unit and the TV tuner in the boot. That means we don't need to snake new harness to the boot from the head unit.

TV Tuner side connection is exactly the same and RNS-D side connection just need new 32-pin connector soldered instead of existing 11-pin connector. All required wires can be found in existing RNS-D 11-pin connector.

Below is mapping of pins from existing RNS-D side 11-pin connector to new 32-pin RNS-E connector:

PIN 1 - Audio earth - to PIN 28 of RNS-E
PIN 2 - Audio input (left-side) - to PIN 29 of RNS-E
PIN 3 - Audio input (right-side) - to PIN 13 of RNS-E
PIN 4 - Video input sync. - to PIN 15 of RNS-E
PIN 5 - Video earth - to PIN 30 of RNS-E
PIN 6 - PAL/NTSC (NOT USED, NO WIRE IN HARNESS)
PIN 7 - V-switch (NOT USED, NO WIRE IN HARNESS)
PIN 8 - Video input (blue) - to PIN 31 of RNS-E
PIN 9 - Video input (green) - to PIN 16 of RNS-E
PIN 10 - Video input (red) - to PIN 32 of RNS-E
PIN 11 - Screened earth - to PIN 14 of RNS-E
I've got the Hybrid TV Unit. From the above it looks like I'll need to get a new 32 pin connector, which is easy enough. From what I can see here

http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7267

the RNS-D wiring into the type 2 TV module consists of a 32 pin and a blank 11 pin connector. Where is the 11 pin connector referred to above and why is a new 32 pin connector required?

Also, can anyone suggest the best place to buy the RCA accessory cable for my camera like the one shown on that post (the link on that page is out of date now)? The similar leads I see on ebay look the same but do not specifically say they support the 8J0919148B TV unit. They maybe OK though!
