The television stopped displaying most channels in my 2019 G31 too. The problem started when abroad, but a few months later, occurred in the U.K. too. The scan would pick up tens of channels, but hardly any showed up in the programme guide and usually said ‘No Signal’ when trying to watch them (BBC, ITV, C4 very occasionally worked). Initially, the dealer upgraded iDrive under warranty, but this didn’t fix it.

The dealer then replaced part of the headunit (the part had to be express delivered from Germany) and did a firmware update on the headunit. It then all worked again. All fixed under warranty.

VVlasy and M5_2000, thanks very much for the info and files.

I may need to do this update, however, i will be doing it on the bench (I dont have an f series car), I've not used e-sys before, is it poosible to do the firmware update to the tv module on the bench, if I have a f series cic and f series MOST zgw (silver case).

I'm not sure how i would populate the vin and other fields, if e-sys is not connected to a real car. is there anyway to folol e-sys into thinking its connected to a car, but for it to only do the tv update (or a device thats conneced to the MOST / CanBus) etc

I can flash modules with my e series bench setup no problem, I'm just stating to look at e-sys coding and flashing.

Update.

I installed e-sys and updated all the pzdata, made the bench flash loom and bought a zgw from an f10 5 series, connected them all to my laptop with the ethernet port and bingo.

Bench flashed the g30 module to the latest firmware 006.000.013 and the TV is now working perfectly in my e92.

help

Hello,I bought a g30 (2018) from germany 1 year ago.
I have the same problem as Mr. Scully.
My car was at the dealer for 2 days for maintenance and to solve the signal problem.
Unfortunately, they have not solved the digital TV no signal problem.
They saw that in the Netherlands the ci+ is no longer supported.
But would I still be able to watch the free channels of dvb-t2, I think.
According to the dealer, they have updated everything and stil not working.
I have seen in this forum that is a solution for it.
Can anyone here help me?
I have little understanding of coding with SYS.
What can i do to fix it?
Thank you very much.

Hi Mark,

Do you have a picture of the TV module? is it a T or a T2.

We will assume that your have tried to tune it? (did you find any channels), but they just dont appear on screen

Hi

Just had this problem, and solved it.

Car BMW530D M-Sport 2019 bought used in Germany and transferred it to Denmark.

TV-Module found 40+ channels, but after the search the list in iDrive is empty.

This is a known issue and was solved by the local BMW dealer.

The workshop needs to program the car as if the TV-module has been replaced.

Then the car needs to locked and left for 15 minutes to go into hibernation.

Then the exact same procedure must be repeated.

There is a known bug in the BMW tool regarding this.

Everything works now also the CM module in the rear compartment.

Best regards Bo

My dealer fixed the 'no signal' issue by updating the module which controls the TV. Not sure if you're able to do that too without visiting the dealer.

Quick update, I still get the 'no signal' screen when I enter other countries so it seems that something needs to be updated for each country individually or it can only work in one country at the time. I've chosen automatic region so that shouldn't be the issue. It is working as expected in my home country where the dealer initially fixed the issue once the car was imported from Germany.

I went back to my country and it is working there so I didn't do anything. I suppose if I wanted it to work in new country, I would need to recode it there. By default it worked in Germany only, after coding by the dealer it is now working in my country(Serbia) but not in Germany or any other country.

It seems bmw didn't do much work/testing regarding this option but they were fine to charge it like $1,500 as an option.

I don't think anything can be done from iDrive. There's an option to choose tv encoding but if you put it in automatic mode it shouldn't matter and it should cover every region.

TBH, its a nice feature, I've had a tv in the car since my early e46 M3, its one of them things I always like to have.

It is handy when you are sitting waiting for someone.

That said, I don't use it much, but it nice to have.

Hello everyone, I also have the same problem as you. I retrofitted my F31 in 2019 it worked fine until recently and now it doesn't work anymore.
In Italy we are now in a hybrid situation where some channels are still in H264 but we are about to switch to the DVBT2 standard (H265 main10).
I have used E-Sys so far for a few modifications in FDL and to encode (retrofit) the TV Module and the TRSVC, but I have never flashed a control unit.
can you help me?
which version of psdzdata should i use? can I code only the TV module or do I have to code all the ECUs of the car?

I had the same issue and based in the UK. Dealer had 0 luck fixing it. However, I managed to fix it myself. Where are you based? Happy to do it if you're in London or guide you through it
