Upgrade Process
We convert the customer's existing analog TV module to digital.
We ask interested customers to locate and remove the TV module from the car and ship it to Autotronic.
Once the upgraded TV module is returned to the customer and reinstalled, a local station search is all that is necessary to start viewing digital programmes.
Our address for shipping/delivering the TV module is as follows:-
Autotronic LCFS Pty Ltd
107 Centre Road
Brighton East VIC 3187
Turnaround time is usually 2-3 business days.
This upgrade does not affect TV-in-motion settings.
The TV module's location varies according to vehicle, so we have included below some pictures to guide you.
Important note for iBus cars: the TV module builds up the picture information and sends this to the on board monitor for display, therefore once the video module is removed there is no longer any picture.
Important note for iDrive cars: the TV module sends sound and data over optic fibre links. A disconnected video module will impair the sound system.
