Commsman Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 G'day Peter. Since the demise of the Asuka tuners (hard to get in small quantities at an affordable price), I've been hunting for a suitable replacement. I've tested a few which were OK but had their limitations. This last one looks the goods in its anodised aluminium case and works really well. I sent one of my 2 samples to Brad (Ducati02) in SA and he did a back-to-back comparison with the Asuka HR3 and found the new tuner picked up signal better and in places the other didn't. Based on my testing and Brad's recent feedback, I've placed an order for a small quantity. These units have been upgraded to come with a an AV input including cable (not shown in pic) that can be used for reverse cam (it switches to that input on supply of 12V to a wire) or any other AV source like DVD/GPS etc. Because of the special order they are not sitting in a warehouse ready to ship and with Chinese New Year happening soon, the delivery date could be mid Feb. There is one in SA if you are desparate to have it straight away. The other is in my Stagea & I'd rather keep it Oh, and the price looks like it will be ~$230, plus maybe $15 in postage. This makes it excellent value when you consider it comes with antennas and the RCA leads where the Asuka didn't. Cheers, Leon.

Commsman Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Yeah, they're close. Manufacturer is putting them together on Monday and shipping soon after. They say they'll be here by the end of next week, but I think it'll be a few days after that. I've asked for an extended IR remote sensor cable (5m long instead of 3m on samples) and they will supply these with this batch. I'll post some more pics and install options in a new thread soon.

Commsman Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hi everyone. The tuners are here and I've assembled a few extras to help with the installation. I've posted the details on the Stagea forum since that's where most of the TV talk seemed to be. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/356219-tv-tuners-once-again-the-new-asuka/ I look forward to hearing from you. I'll PM those who expressed prior interest later. Cheers, Leon.

g33k Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Interesting... where do you mount the antennas? I may get one if the reception feedback is good. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351465-v35-tv-tuner/#findComment-5713583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commsman Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Interesting... where do you mount the antennas? I may get one if the reception feedback is good. Hi Tim, I've been told the best place for the antennas are front & back screens for maximum separation. Coax runs behind A pillar & C pillar trim & the antannas stick to the glass right at the top. I saw pics from one install and they couldn't be seen from outside, but he also had a strip of dark tint at the top. Reception in capital cities is normally pretty good with these antennas. They are almost as good as the factory ones in the Stageas which we are lucky enough to be able to use.
