2004 Continental GT digital TV tuner.

[lowest]

I've just replaced the analogue TV tuner (part number 3D0919146) with a second hand digital TV tuner (part number 3D0919148) and not only has that given me digital TV but digital radio too. A change well worth the 30 minutes effort if you can find the part cheap enough. Steps as follows:-
Remove fuse for TV tuner.
Force re scan of Can gateway using VCDS or similar, channel 19, code 0000006 tells the gateway to discover the modules that are available and because you've pulled out the fuse, it will not see this module and think it is not installed.
Drop parcel shelf in boot.
Replace TV tuner (some butchery required of the aerial connectors).
Replace fuse for TV tuner.
Force re scan of Can gateway using VCDS or similar, channel 19, code 0000006 tells the gateway to discover the modules that are available and because you've replace the fuse, it will discover the new module.
Clear any errors using VCDS or similar on channel 57.
Trigger an auto scan via the central console and be patient while auto scan discovers channels!
Re-fix parcel shelf.
Works a treat and now have digital radio via the TV function.

I've also replaced the TPMS modules with none Bentley ones with success and can post the steps to sort out the TPMS ECU if anyone is interested?
Also found the VW/Audi part number to replace the rear anti-roll bar bush clamps which I can post if of help to anyone (I found I had a broken one!)?

TPMS instructions would be great thanks.

Where did you find the second hand module?

Part was from Ebay, they don't turn up often but make sure you get 3D0919148.
I'll post the TPMS stuff on a separate thread.

Great info lowest! I've managed to source a second hand unit so will give this a try in a few weeks time. Thanks

HI sorry I know this is a old post but my 2010 GTC came with no TV at all, the connections in the boot all there managed to buy the the hybrid box ending 48 for DVB TV, fitted it and my head unit sees the TV fine when I press the TV button but no reception, when I scan the TV module using my launch its says all four antennas are open circuit, I am thinking that because my GTC had no TV in the first place then there is a antenna or module missing, your thoughts are welcome
