You only need a satellite tuner if you plan to subscribe to satellite radio, like XM or Sirius. If your new head unit has HD Radio built in (as opposed to “HD-Radio Ready”) then you don’t need any additional parts, or a subscription.
Lots of manufacturers draw things out in their installation guides because they want you to know that you can add more peripherals to their system.
In your case, you can own both HD Radio (free - as long as you buy the hardware) and satellite radio (Sirius or XM - a subscription is required and hardware is needed).
Good luck!
