Make sure that the country it comes from uses the same FM frequencys. ie: Jap systems miss out a big chunk of the frequencys we use here, and we cannot pick up half our radio stations on them!

Well itll probably mean that the radio will tune to odd frequencies instead of even ones.
Like you couldnt pick up 97.4 only 97.3 or 97.5.
At least thats the only difference in my HU, and its an import.

 

[Smokey]

well tbh all i listen to is Radio 1, Vibe FM and the Mrs like Q103

Oh and i sometimes listen to Radio 5 Live if footys on.

No probs mate, that site is pretty good, prices are a good bit cheaper than Halford/No*end speed etc!

Not sure about imported ICE, if its American stuff you may need an inverter of some sort?

99.7 - yes.
106.4 - No.
103.0 - No.

Basically any frequency that ends in .1 / .3 / .5 / .7 / .9 I can pick up perfectly.
I can pick up Q103 but only at 102.9 so the quality aint great.

I only listen to radio1 so it suits me fine.

Its a Kenwood KVT-725DVD by the way.

 

[Mondial172]

need to get a band expander. Try a jap car import place.

MX5 parts sell them.
