I also installed my digital TV Tuner today. Its an old unit that I removed from my old car. It does a good job and has dual diversity antennas to help improve reception.

Here is a picture showing the Hopman Cup live on ABC



The tuner box is installed under the front passenger seat. I have one antenna on the front windscreen and one on the rear under the headlining so its hidden from view. I am trying to improve reception still so if anyone has experience with in car TV, speak up

PS. iGO is the way to go, just got to get it a bit more 'stable'...

Just an update...

Today I installed a Parrot 3200LS bluetooth carkit in conjunction with my AVC9000. I bought a Parrot adaptor lead so no splicing was required. All I needed to do extra was to connect the accessory wire seperately as the stock wiring loom doesnt have this. I ended up tapping into the AVC harness's accessory wire.

The Parrot works perfectly with the AVC. When you make a call or a call comes in, it mutes the stereo and the conversation goes through you car speakers. When you hang up, the music starts again.

I mounted the Parrot screen to the right of the AVC just under the air con vents. This was the best location as I can easily view the screen while driving and access the buttons and volume knob.

I tried the AVC's built in bluetooth for a while but decided to put the Parrot in as it performs better. The AVC surprisingly had decent sound quality (no real complaints from my callers) but the main bug for me was that it was slow to switch between music to the bluetooth source.

If anyone is interested, I can post a picture of my Parrot display

I've just purchased one of these aerial patch leads from Connects2, it cost about $80.

Heres a pic of my Parrot 3200LS screen fitted next to my AVC9000.

Well mine has gone back to Rob at Auspack... It was repeatedly failing to find the GPS device. This is not a signal strength (ie aerial position) issue, as when it decides to work (about 1 day in 5) there are lots of satelites with lots of strong signal... So, after an involved discussion with Rob (who was very friendly and seemed to know the product thoroughly) he will get it checked out by techs and either returned or replaced. So, here's hoping....

Any MKV R32 owners out there who have the AVC9000?
Did you install the reversing camera? If so, where did you locate it?

I am about to get my 3rd camera, and I am wondering if the vibration/resonance from the install location (between and above the exhaust pipes) might be upsetting the camera.

I get a "reversed" image (what's on the left shows on the right, etc).

Yes, I have gone through the software settings at the head unit, and that makes no difference at all.

Rob (Auspack) is at a loss to explain.....and I would really like this sorted out.

So...any feedback from the .:32 owners?
