Head Unit Problem

[aw-krazy 45]

Hi there,

Bought a pioneer head unit for my e36 and am having trouble with the radio side of it.

The frequency is going by odd numbers as opposed to even e.g. : 90.1, 94.3, 91.1

And i cant seem to make it go up 0.1 of a frequency it will go 0.2 only

And ideas?

never heard of them before.

its a standard band expander but shifts 0.1mhz instead of 10.

should be closer to $20 in my opinion.

would work but just depends what its worth to you i guess

well in total i paid 650NZD for this head unit so probably worth it haha!

Ill bring it into a audio specialist first before i blow $100 and see what happens

if its a good one see if you can set the country or region.

often you can on dvd players.

that might do it but their website seemed to think it was just a flat no.

Find the user manual and check radio settings. Some have a menu system where you can select continent. Sth America or Europe work here IIRC. What Pioneer model?

[aw-krazy 45]

Pioneer AVH - X6500

Looks like the FM step isn't adjustable on yours. Bummer
