TV tuner input activation?

Hi,

I need to 'activate' de AV input on my tv tuner (cayenne 2008). I went by the dealer today and they said that it will take 1.5 hours of labor. Personally I find this rather much. Just hook on the PIWIS , turn the switch and done. Does anybody perhaps have experience with this? or know an alternative way? The tv tuner is working and the reverse camera as well. Besides this there are 2 more inputs on the tv tuner and these need to be activated.

Any clues?

Regards, frank

I think they are quoting based on a complete PIWIS load and reload time for the complete system. My dealer has the same issue, they dont know how to use the tester properly and think they have to do that in every case. You should have seen the fiasco when I wanted them to turn of the CDC, they could not figure it out and turned the whole audio system off.

30 minutes at most - and that is if they watch most of a TV show. ;)

Ok, is there a way to find out what they need to do? A manual for this?

Do I need a piwis for this, or can I use an alternative instrument?

You will need a PIWIS tester and someone that knows how to use it (sic).

And obviously...... they don't have a clue!

The TV tuner is an option which is not deliverable in the Netherlands (the car is a German one, which I imported). They have not done this before and therefore they have no clue how long it will take (>1.5 hours)!

Anyway to get hold of the PIWIS manual so I can tell them what they should do?
