I thought the sole purpose of the XT-63V was that it was to be used with the
XAV-7W. The 63V was designed to work with the 7W but with the 7W
controlling it. The C90 was not meant to control the 63V. In fact Sony
even specifially stated with the 63V that it was only to be used with the 7W
at that time and not other UniLink decks. However it might well work
despite this, perhaps inperfectly (similar to how XDP units behave when
connected to HUs with built-in DSP or HX-DSP which were not meant to control
an XDP because of the built-in DSP unit).
If you have both a C90 and a 7W I can't see how it could hurt to try.
Because even if it didn't work with the C90 controlling it, the 7W would
definitely control it.

I had some problems with my Sony VPL-VW12HT LCD Projector and had to do a
little corrective surgery to get it working again. Here's a nifty web page
on what I had to do...

here is what I read about the Xt-63v:
Sony XT-63V TV Tuner
click here to view an enlarged imageWrite a review for this item. CarDomain Overview
Add the XT-63V to any UniLink compatible Sony head unit for mobile TV reception.
The diversity circuit with 4 separate antenna inputs ensures excellent off-air
reception. Two glass-mount dipole antennas are included. UniLink pass-through
connections allow an additional UniLink component, such as a CD changer, to
be used in addition to the TV tuner. There's also an auxiliary A/V input with
source switching. Compatible with most Sony UniLink head units, including the
XAV-7W in-dash monitor. Includes A/V connection cable, UniLink connection cable,
and two glass-mount dipole antennas.
Features
Diversity System with 4 Antenna Inputs
Includes Twin Dipole Antennas
UniLink Head Unit Controlled
UniLink Pass-Through for Additional Accessory
A/V Input with Source Switching
Channel 2 69 NTSC Reception
Dimensions: 5 1/2" L x 7 3/8" W x 1 3/16" H

Hmm that is interesting, I've never seen it as listed as such (being
connected to "any" UniLink compatible HU), but that is what it says there.
Ordering from CarDomain/SoundDomain (where that info came from) you could
probably return it if it didn't work (you could probably return it there
anyway I think).
This is the Crutchfield archive page:
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-5dVvTaLEDKW/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=166350&id=essential_info&i=158XT63V
It doesn't mention anything except the 7W as being connected to it. In the
extended information tab I *swear* before Crutchfield had a warning about it
being unable to be connected to other Sony HUs, but that doesn't show now so
who knows?
There is a small flaw in the line it can be connected to "any UniLink
compatible HU" though, and that is that there were lots of HUs that had
UniLink *changer* control but did not feature TV and/or DSP control as well.
TV/DSP control was mainly reserved for mobile ES units, for the most part
(though there might have been non-ES units featuring one or both).
Again, I think the only way to know for certain is to actually try it out
and see. Since it seems no one here has attempted it, if you choose to do
it then you become the guinea pig I guess. But really it at least *seems*
to me that it should work. Did you try downloading the manual(s) for the
63V and checking in there?
>also there was a xt-v70??
>
As for there being an XT-70V, I know of no UniLink Sony mobile TV tuner that
got that model designation for the North American market. Though there may
well have been a 70V either in Europe or Japan, but I have no idea myself.

The XT-40V TV tuner require a deck that can control a mobile TV tuner....
My MDX-C150 wouldn't run my XT-40V, but the MDX-C8900 has no problems.
When I had the XT-40V on my MDX-C150, it would show track and title
information, but there was no way to activate the TV tuner/video input..
the C150 just has MD/CD/TUNER buttons... the C8900 has a source button
that takes you thru all of the inputs.
PErhaps the 63V is different... but Sony themselves told me the C150 would
drive the XT-40V, and it wouldn't.
I think the 8900 says "TV CONTROL" in small print, as well as DSP
control...

Almost all Sony manuals can be found here, just by typing in the model
number in the box...

I actually saw a XT-40V that was much larger than mine at a Sony outlet
store, IIRC...
So I think there are two physically different XT-40Vs, but I'm not sure. I
could be mistaken, I could be thinking of the 67V or something... but to
the best of my memory I was thinking "So thats a XT-40V" ... then when I
bought one from eBay it arrived much smaller than the one I saw there in
South Carolina.

Hmm from what you're saying it sounds like you might be confused between
seeing two XT-40Vs and an XT-U400V and an XT-40V. The two are nearly
identical and it may be that the older U400V was larger. This is just one
possibility I can think of, it might be that there were actually two
different sized revisions of the 40V (though I've never heard of that or
seen that before myself).
Mistaking the 63V and 40V is nearly impossible though so that couldn't be
it--the 63V is silver and the 40V is black.

Ah yes! Good chance it was indeed the U-400V.
