Hi all, sorry in advance if this topic has been covered but I desperately need some help.. I recently acquired an autobiography interior (seats, door cards) which I intend to put into my l322 vogue 2011, the donor interior was from a 2012 model with the same stereo head unit, my question is can I connect the rear screens in my new interior to my existing head unit, stereo system in the car? I understand I may need more components and also cables to run from seat base to monitor control unit but can it be done? I also found the oem remote control for the head rest monitors in the centre console in rear seats and would love all of this to work, any help would be greatly appreciated or if you know someone in the Kent area who specialises in this sort of thing? Thanks, james.

I have the '03MY L322 and want to add a monitor to the OEM fitted headunit which I believe is Alpine? But don't know where to pick up the video feed. The head unit screen size is too small

I tried searching "BMW link lead" but didn't get any hits telling me what they were for -- thanks for your help anyway

Not very interesting in today's traffic jams though.
