2. Making use of the built-in TV aerial, which I think has 4 funny little connectors onto the old analogue tuner.

3. Where to put it? Apart from the obvious space with the existing tuner etc. in the boot N/S I'm wondering about the rear armrest/cavity somehow?
i bought the same thing a while ago, though my cars a D3, bought the IR in behind the back seat and tucked beside the centre headrest so was easy to control.


1. PSU - i used the small fuse box in the boot , tapping of the fuse that runs the MMi - dont know what you have in the d2
2. Check that you can do this with the antennas, the D3 tv tuner (and i suspect the d2 tuner) gives a voltage out of the antenna sockets to run the antennas, tapping in to them is not a good idea if this is the case, general consensus was that you couldnt use these, so instead i bought a sticky one and put on the back screen.
3. most likely place would be near the original tv tuner (arent you going to use the Aux socket to input video)
