Hi all, Many many thanks for your help on this mod! Just one more little problem though!

Well got to the module at last! Hadnt realised there were so many things to undo to get to it!

I have fitted the cable and the freeview is working a treat on my rear headrests now!

The only problem i have now is that there is a slight humming noise when i put in the headphones into the screens and (its only mono as there was only 1 audio and 1 video out lead) this is only when the engine is running, its ok when the dvd is on!
Kids not happy, cant hear Cbeebies properly!!

Does anyone know what this could be??

Thanks,
Roy.

You need a noise surpressor on the phono cables that have the audio on them...

£10 and plugged inline... It's alternator noise, should get louder as you pick up speed. PITA!
