Hi Duncan,

I have a1997 BMW Z3 and I am having trouble with my radio reception. It was imported from Japan in 2004. I have put In a band expander and new Antenna. I read through some instructions on reprogramming but I only got half way through. I held down "M" for ten seconds and got serial :SN V0627064. I moved across and only these showed up: SV 29-96 06, GaL 5, station 80.2 fM "03, 04, 02"changing.

I tried Turning off the radio at each of these settings but it did not improve reception.

The other options/ components "Japan", European, Oceania...etc did not appear when I pushed 1,2 ,3 to ANY other button .

Please, if you could offer any other advise...I would soo much appreciate it....

Am I going to have to buy a new stereo?...and in fact, Would a new stereo fix my reception...

Thank you in advance for all your help.

Kind regards, Crystal

Mike,

Would you be confident enough to change mine form JP into NZ frequencies??

I would love to know Crabsticks advice on how to convert my Z3 radio from Japan to NZ frequency because band expander and Antenna has not worked. Thanks! Crystal
