I believe tv tuners are out dated as there is really no such thing as an analog signal any more. Perhaps someone could verify.

But I am a fan of Pioneer decks. Great products. I actually just installed a single din in my corolla lol

unless you are able to get a digital tv tuner, it would be worthless, like jagblazer said, there is no analog signals anymore.

I do remember when they outdated the rabbit ears lol. Apparently instead of analog they went to digital. We have a TV on our boat with a built in digital tuner and its never been clearer lol. Yea I gotta agree I put my girls pioneer double din touchscreen in...if only my jimmy supported doubled din lol .

you can get a double din in your jimmy....
as for the digital being more clear, that I can agree with... the fact that when the signal is weak, which it is, quite often... it gets digitized... which is far more annoying then a bit of static that came with the analog, this way you miss stuff, other way you did not.. oh well, Times be a changing.

without fabrication? or would i have to cut a 1/2 inch off the bottom? i just figured by the time i bought the 2din dash (in tan which i cant find in any junk yards lol) and the new player it wasnt worth it...although i really like the pioneer touch screens
