L322 AV Expert required.

Been having a play with my 2003 L322 and decided to use the AV in on my Digital TV box.
Its one of those £200 ebay jobs that plugs into the factory analogue TV unit and receives freeview via the factory AV setting.
Anyhows, I have an android TV box in my house that runs of 5 volts so I decided to buy a power adapter for my car and give it a go in the Rangey.
Result: FAIL (note the bold and underline just to demonstrate how badly)
The picture is terrible and the is a buzz and a hiss in the audio soooo...................
1. Can I replace the factory display (just the display screen, not the unit) with a TFT/LCD thingy
2. Is there another way of getting the audio so I don't have to turn the volume up and can get stereo sound (and have the subwoofer working) without hissing and buzzing.

Are there boxes/adapter (or whatever they're being called nowadays) like the dice mediabridge or intravee that do AV that could fix all the above without replacing the display or should I just accept that the factory system is ****e and give up (don't want to lose my info screen, MPG, miles left in tank etc).

Few pics:

Thanks.

Hate to point you to another forum, but Joe90 on www.fullfatrr.com is pretty clued up on the AV of the L322...he customed designed and fitted a working PC using the scroll interface on his....search out his posts on the AV install and maybe ask him some questions...clever guy.

Sounds like you need to investigate the Pibus.I looked at this system before I went to an Intravee, it looks like a nice way of getting Mp3, Mp4 video onto the standard system.
The video shows it working on an BMW E46, but the systems are as near as dammit the same on the L322.

Just a thought but why the effing hell would you want TV in a car?

True but at least it'll make you feel better about your own life waiting for the tow truck when your gearbox has failed

This is true but having some pins in the glove box you can stick in your eyes maybe preferable.
