any tuner will do really, its the antena/ariel you need to worry about, for some reason ariels are FAR more inefficient at speed, i bought a decent hidden antena for a tuner that has 2 "sticks" that you hide inside your bumper. and i have seen ones how its "invisible" antena that sticks to your rear window like contact..

point being, tuners will work only as good as the ariel, which needs to be a proper car one. i dont think that stock one would be sufficient IF this theory is true

I still have the factory option aerials on the back of my car and haven't been asked about them by cops yet. It's not illegal to have a TV in your car, just to be able to watch it whilst driving.
