I am getting everything gathered for my 08 Superduty that is arriving next week. However, I was a little upset when I read about the GEX P5700 Tv Tuner being discontinued.

 

I called my installer today and had him start ordering everything in and told him about the 5700 woes. He called me back a few hours later and told me Pioneer had a new TV tuner that on the documentation would work with the Z1. I did not get the model number but he said it just came out.

 

Can anybody confirm this or had anybody else heard about a new tuner compatible with the Z1

 

Can anybody tell which Pioneer TV tuner are compatible with the Z1 and what are the differences among them?

Yeah, I know I have been trying to find a P5700 for a couple of weeks with absolutely no luck.

 

However, could it be, as my authorized dealer/installer, told me that Pioneer has just released a new tuner that is compantible with the Z1? Maybe even a digital tuner for the new 09 broadcast requirements?

 

Anyhow, he said he just ordered one that is just out from Pioneer and is compatible with the Z1. I sure am hoping he is right. I am going to call him and see if I can get the part # from him.

You should be able to score a GEX-P7000TV pretty cheap on eBay and make a custom video cable. It should work the same as the 5700 other than needing a custom homemade cable and being physically larger.

There's a GEX-P5700TV on eBay right now:

 

Item number: 280081318816

$405? What a rip! I'd rather get a no-name 4ch diversity amplified tuner for $75 hooked up to the AV inputs and forget the touchscreen access. $405 is insane!

theres a place in Queens where I usually go to get my car worked on, called Sound City Auto, it's located on Queens Blvd and I believe 39th ST or 36th ST, they have one in stock right now, and I believe the price for it is $250 or something like that.

 

If you are interested, I can get you their number and you could give them a call, just let me know

That isn't entirely true. I have a GEX-P6400TV tuner and it works flawlessly with it. Touchscreen and all.

How do you have your connections for the 6400? I have my avbus and other bus connceted but I get no video. Did you have to hook up RCAs?

 

Thanks,

what is the difference between the 5700 and the 6400 ??

Posted Mar 17, 2007 · 05:19 UTC#16

I believe the 5700 had an extra video output over the 6400
