S4 cabrio conversion to digital TV

[s8craig]

I managed to obtain a quantity of Hybrid DVB-TV tuner modules this week and I upgraded an Analogue tuner in an S4 cabrio to Digital/Analogue today. The 54 pin connector is the same, but the two pairs of antennas have different spacings, so new head shells were needed for them, but no problem I had some in my parts bin.

Here's the DVB-TV picture on an RNS-E

This is the factory integrated solution, not some 3rd party add on. It's fully integratred with the Navigation system and the car.

Picture quality is excellent and sharp, I live in an area where digital TV is not receivable on a normal antenna, let alone in the car and you can see from the pic above it is picking up the BBC mux with no problems. The custome has posted more pics on navplus of the results whilst he was driving etc and new TV stations and radio stations.
