Thanks for the advice guys. I am now convinced that for me it is not worth spending $250+ for a tuner that would only allow me to have an empty dash space and be a little more convenient. I just found out that I can use a wireless Kenwood remote without any config hassles and that's exactly what I want. I just don't understand what 'behind the wheel mounted remote' means? I only use the radio to listen to traffic reports, nothing fancy like the drive-in theaters. In fact, I have never even seen such a theater in my life; only in movies. I dont' think they have those in NY Metro Area, do they?
