One use for a tuner that hasn't been mentioned here is to hear new music that isn't already in your collection. It doesn't matter how many hours of mp3s you have on your Empeg, you're just not going to hear anything new in them

I'm lucky that Boston has some good radio stations, and short journeys are when I'm most likely to tune in to them.

You still wouldn't catch me paying that much for the tuner module though...I'm keeping my old HU for now so I don't really need it.

And if anyone here has too much cash, feel free to send me some
