TV mode function 

The vehicle receives the TV signals as electromagnetic waves via the antennas. An antenna amplifier amplifies the signals and transmits these to multimedia system control. Multimedia system control converts the signals into video and audio signals by means of an integrated TV tuner. The speaker system outputs these audio signals via the speaker. The multimedia system outputs the video signals via the media display.

Depending on the equipment installed, the following TV standards can be received and processed:

• DVB-T1/DVB-T2 (H.264/H.265/HEVC) (Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial)

  (Not for vehicles with code 498 (Japan version) or code 835 (Additional parts for South Korea vehicles))

• ISDB-T (Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting - Terrestrial)

  (For vehicles with code 498 (Japan version))
