Does anyone have any information on TV Tuners? I was wondering if any of these tuners would work and what is your experience with them.

Model Price Select
Pioneer GEX-P5700TV TV Tuner $349.99
Alpine TUE-T151 TV Tuner $199.99
Clarion TTX005 TV Tuner $149.99

I have the pioneer GEX and it works perfectly. I would suggest that one for clear integration and remote controls that work with the head unit IR receiver.

Thanks. Also do you know a good place to get a cheap one?

If possible could you send pictures of your tv tuner setup and pics of the actual tv station broadcastings? I am thinking about adding it to my setup, but want to see it in action first. Thanks

I have TV Tuners hooked up with both my Z1 and N2. The $349.99 you listed seems rather high...should be more than $100 less.

All TV tuners are not made equally. you could buy one for $99.99... but you'd get exactly what you paid for. Additonally, car TV Tuners are not known for their great reception...so you should expect some channels not coming in or has much static...Nonetheless, some stations come in very clear.

I would strongly suggest you check out the site http://www.discountcarstereo.com/ If you are seriously considering the purchase, i would suggest you look there. The sales manager, Bay Coban, outfitted both my BMW and Mercedes with his products. Others I have referred were very happy and no one can beat his prices. If you need to call him and buy directly instead of ordering online...post back and i'll give you his number.
