I own a AVHP7600 by Pioneer. That unit came with a built in TV Tuner and the antennas. The picture comes very good. Most in dash units do not have a TV tuner and you must purchase it separately. Good luck finding one that you like!

the antenna from my experience makes all the difference, you get much better reception. often times you cannot see anything much at all w/o the antenna plugged in

BTW it's not a like a cb radio antenna most are somewhat easy to conceal
