Has anyone who has installed the Tuner module in a Jeep Wrangler, or other Jeep vehicle noticed a extreme drop in the number of stations/signal quality from a factory/other radio. If so do you have any thoughts on what might be done to improve this? Thanks

I don't have a Jepp, but you might try searching on ``antenna'' in the FAQ. There are some known issues, one of which being that you might have a powered antenna that you're now not powering, which seems like the most likely initial possibility to me.

I've looked in the service manual for the '03 Jeep Liberty I just bought and it indeed does have a powered antenna. What year of Wrangler do you have, as my roomate just moved his head-unit into the '99 model he got a couple weeks ago. Granted, there aren't that many stations around here, but there wasn't any signal loss that we could notice.

Here's the pinout diagram for the Jeep Grand Cherokee (aparently the same for all Jeeps for 1999-2001), and there's no wire for a powered antenna. From what I can tell from my service manual, the antenna module in the Liberty is only for the export model.
