Hybrid TV Tuner

[tc4332]

Thanks to IT, big cheer Ian. I now have a working TV in the car.

Everyone says 10 minutes to swap the analogue for a digital tuner - - - well not for me. Took two and a half hours of back bent leaning into the boot.
Took out the navigation DVD player and the Parking Aid Module.
Realised the complete audio rack would have to come out because the TV Tuner was on the rear of the rack.
Disconnected the battery for safety reasons.
Removed the fuse holder.
Unplugged and removed the electronic thingy box from the front of the audio rack.
Unfastened the audio rack, twisted and manouvered the bloooooodie thing all over the place without success.
Removed all the side trim, plastic and compressed fibre.
Swore loudly, woke the neighbours baby, and twisted and manouvered the rack until it finally came out.
Found the TV tuner was mounted with screws on the side so this other electronic box thingy had to be removed.
Finally undid the four screws and removed the analogue TV box.

Now for part two. I had to do it all again but in the reverse order.
Wish I could remember what fitted where!!!!
Took an uneducated guess and blomin' 'eck it all went back together and I only had one nut leftover. Found where the nut belonged, tried to fit it and the ruddy nut did what nuts do and ran away behind the audio rack.
Well it can stay there, no way is that sodding thing coming out again, certainly not in my lifetime!!!!

Closed the boot and went indoors for a cuppa.

Back to the car and the boot would not open. Panic.
Used the key and managed to open the boot.
After the battery was reconnected I had to reset the time clock and the car was apparently back to working order.
But the TV did not work. MMI, Radio, AMI, Navigation and CD player were working.
After panicking again I PM'd IT Ian, but he put me right. Basically, have patience, have a little drive and see what happens.
As it said at the start of this boring missive, IT WORKS.
Took management to ASDA and while SWMBO did the shopping I watched the ITV news.
I love it.
