TV Tuner MFS

[TMack2300]

is there any options for adding a tv tuner to my 2014 XSport with MFT?

Pretty sure you can do that if you add a Lockpick

Are you hoping to tune in television stations? I don't know if that is a feasible project. Where I live there are no analog signals anymore. Everything is digital. People using antennas had to have special boxes added (free) to their system in order to receive some but not all signals. I doubt it can be done with the MFT we have. You would also require the proper receiving system for the signal.

yes i want digital TV channels... all that requires is a digital tuner in the car and use the monitor as the TV screen... very possible.
i worked at Mickey Shorr and have had tv tuners in all my previous cars.

Sirius has a TV tuner kit but when I last looked it was very limited kids programming.

DirecTV does mobile kits for boats perhaps thats an option?

I have seen those big flat black sat dishes that mount on the SUV's roof between the roof rack rails.

Enable blocked video functions of your factory MyTouch system!
A/V input while in motion
Factory or aftermarket Rear Camera control in any gear
Turn on a backup camera input for aftermarket rear cam installations
Front camera input that automatically turns on when you are parking
Side camera inputs that activate automatically with your turn signal
Alternate rear camera input for automatic 2nd cam viewing when pulling a trailer

the navigation features that are locked while in motion sucks... would like that to go away...
Im really just looking for a digital tv tuner to hook up so i can watch tv on my head unit.... like my old kenwood head unit could do untilwe all went digital.

There's no simple way.
The only way you could get it in motion is a lockpick. That's it.
The lockpick doesn't have a tuner built in, but it'll give you the input you need (component audio/video).

i understand

gonna look more into lockpick!
