A household SD set top box will not display HD - likewise the same applies to computer TV tuner sticks - SD will only display SD and to get HD you need a higher spec computer and a different tuner stick. Most aftermarket car radios with TV are only SD.
You car system may very well be HD noting Aust is one of the few countries that specified HD as the TV digital standard.

Just checked in our 08, the only HD channel it sees is SBS HD and when tuned to that it gives audio but just black screen with no picture.
None of the other HD channels appear in the auto created listing.
So yeah, looks like the tuner is not HD compatible.
Thanks for confirming.
I'm just about to buy a DTV upgrade from Wiggs in the UK on FFRR.
Think its out of a D4 but compatible.
Looking forward to it.
CBH25,
How did you get on with the Wiggs tuner? What was the final cost?

What year did they put digital tv tuners in RR?
I am fairly sure I found a few at the wreckers yesterday in '07/'08 write-offs. They were OE hybrid tuners, with the product code: "UH42-19C063-BA".
I probably would have grabbed one on the spot, and gambled that it got the digital signal, except they were asking an unbelievable $950 for the used unit! That's more than double the cost of the Wiggs tuners in the UK! Looks like my money is going overseas afterall...

Any further news on the results of the HD upgrades?
Sorry gents, I havent been able to get the DTV upgrade yet from UK.
Finances got in the way (as well as a new Auto transmission......)
Further online research and physically looking at the tuner fitted to my Vogue showed it to be a hybrid (analogue and digital) tuner. Reading the manual showed me how to set the digital system for Australia, now I have all the Adelaide digital TV stations tuned in and working. :cool:
Well played BigJon.. Few extra $$ saved for some more mods.. I noticed an upgraded Bluetooth receiver on FFRR which might be worth a look ;)

I changed my 2004 L322 (BMW non-touch screen) to digital TV yesterday. And one gets digital radio channels too - but it's mono.
I bought the PIBUS PTV kit from Melbourne and a digital TV tuner from China. See PTV - Digital TV interface board for BMW
Don't buy the PTV board from the same bloke in China who sells the DTV - he's ripping off the Aussie who designed the unit.
The hardest part was drilling two holes for the antenna connectors and two holes to fit the USB socket (for playing movies from a USB stick).
