The problem is that the video from the TV tuner is the old style yellow composite video, no amount of improving graphics is going to fix that because as far as video goes, thats all the MMI will accept. Then the LCD screen in the dash is quiet low resolution, so even if you could improve things the display will not cope.

MMI 3G shares nothing from the 2G system, its a completely different setup. You have to remember the MMI 2G system is 13 years old technology, whilst it was good for its time these days its pretty much outclassed by everything else.

would love to see the thread rick has found. the mmi uses lvds but i dont see how an upgrade of a graphics chip will make much difference to small low res screen.

it would be wicked if you can get 1080p quality can't you custom fit an iPad mini in place of the mmi screen?
