I saw this posted before - hope it works!


Supposedly only on 1997 navigation system.

Hello there I am currently a BMW fanatic. Now this is going to be slightly complicated so pay attention.
1. turn key on to position 2. select tv function displayed on the lcd screen.
2. enter the settings area that has color, contranst, picture...........that is displayed
on the lcd screen, (note the tv picture will be fuzzy but you will be able to hear the voices or sounds that are on the t.v.)
3. now this is slightly trickey, so once again pay attention. go to the section of contrast and select it by pressing the little black button that you used to select up or down. (little round black knob). When you get to contrast press the black knob and hold it. and keep holding it.
4. now you are still holding the contrast with black button. simply turn the key to off, still holding black button, let go. the tv should come on the next time you turn the key to on.
5. disclaimer, this tv function is agaist the law and I do not recommend it to be in use.
