Hi,
I've been looking at the various options to play mp3's on my W220 2001 with Comand 2.5 and analogue TV tuner.
I've never had chance to try the analogue tv tuner as the digital switchover had already happened when I bought the car, but I understand that the TV is disabled when the car is in motion. (I don't really want to buy a video in motion adapter for obvious reasons)
However my question to the forum is to find out whether the audio is also disabled. i.e. If I feed audio to the AV1 input on the TV Tuner then can I listen to the audio whilst driving?
Having done a good bit of reading up I think the dension gateway 500 unit and the mercedes player MP40 are a bit on the expensive side so here's my plan.
Purchase an AV adapter for the TV tuner:
Mercedes Comand 2.0 2.5 Audio Video Adapter m. TV tuner | eBay
Purchase a Bluetooth v4.0 audio receiver that also support the APTX protocol (for CD quality streaming over bluetooth):
Bluetooth 4.0 Stereo Audio Music Receiver Handfree Car Kit | eBay
I can then stream audio direct from my smartphone & setup playlists before I start a journey.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 supports all the necessary including the A2DP & APTX protocol.
This means I don't need to run a 3.5mm audio jack from one end of the car to the other.
Anyway, I'd really appreciate if someone can let me know if the TV tuner will still play the audio stream on AV1 whilst the car is moving?
Cheers in advance!!
