I have installed a DVB-T freeview tuner box into our new RAV-4 which has the Toyota DVD and rear headrest screens system.
We get about 20 TV stations and 30 or so DAB Radio.
There is a similar system on ebay now:

The TV works most of the time when moving but it's not 100% stable until you stop.

It look exactly like mine, and it even came with a mains transformer so it can be used at home too! Plugs into normal coax tv lead and has both RF out and RGB via phono sockets. I paid about £60, so the price has come down even more.
I think it's a good buy at that!

I'll have one of these for sale soon .... with an additional powered aerial booster - the aerial that comes with this can be a bit poo in weak reception areas.

Also a rear-view mirror / TV screen, with reversing camera that comes on when you .. uh .. reverse.

Watch this (or another) space.
