Default Adding AV cables to digital tuner

Hi,

So my MMI says I have 2 more AV channels alongside 'TV' and 'Interface'.

Does anyone know what cable I need for the digital tuner to be able to run an AV cable into the cabin? I'd like to be able to play videos off my iphone/iPad (I have the composite cable already).

Thanks,

Oli

Thanks Snapdragon! Just ordered

Do you know how easy is it to wire into the tuner?

Thanks again,

Oli

Thanks guys,

The instructions on the site show that each AUX IN has 5 pins:



But I have six pins in total on the cable.



Any advice?

Also I assume that red = audio, black =audio and blue = video?



Many thanks,

Oli

Ah.. They're not the cable for the D3.

Both Audio connections have a common "-" connection. can't really tell from the pic, but if you can open up the connectors and put two of them together into the one, then that'll sort you out.

As to the colours, doesn't really matter too much, but that's the usual convention.
