Unlocking i-drive screen for TV while moving ?
Does anyone know a way to unlock the TV in an E92 M3 so that it stays on all the time and doesn't go off when you start moving. I have heard there maybe a sequence of buttons to push ?

for "tvandnav2go" There are units out there you can install to allow TV/DVD function while car is moving.

You have to install a module into the back of the head unit. I believe from the install instructions I saw that the tvandnav2go unit requires splicing into the wires, an alternative company that I have used before is:
http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_i...r--X5--X6.html Their unit is simply plug-and-play and requires no splicing into the wiring. |

I tried another system on my 08 330d. It's something you connect to the car's diagnostic connector, you push a button and then it switch the tv to have it always on even while your are driving... Good solution because you don't need to unmount anything in the car.
I found it on ebay and it worked fine... |

For cars equiped with CCC (car's before LCI) you have this :
http://cgi.ebay.de/BMW-TV-Freischalt...ht_2126wt_1167 For cars equiped with CIC (idrive with harddisk) you have this : http://cgi.ebay.de/BMW-DVD-TV-Freisc...#ht_814wt_1167 This is just the idea of type of part. I don't know the sellers so take care to their notation ! Anyway, I bought one (i don't remember to who) but it worked fine for me ! |

Thanks for the info. This would be really nice because it looks non invasive but i cant read anything and it would probably cost a lot to get something sent here to the states. I will probably go with the eas solution just looking for something plug and play. |

my advice should be to ask them how much it cost to send it to the states ! By the way such module does perhaps exist in the states.... Perhaps a little search would help.
I find nice from the same reason as you and it is... |

By the way it's on this site I bought my module (trough his ebay account, but it's perhaps possible to buy directly from him) :
