E46 business stereo world tuning

[smiddy 76]

Hi guys, anyone know the sequence to reset my business tuner to receive local stations?

Thanks.

1. Switch on radio

2. Within 10 seconds, press and hold down the 'm' button until the serial number appears (takes around 10secs) to enter the radio's service menu.

3. Use the + or - buttons to cycle through the menu settings until you see AREA JAPAN or just JAPAN (varies a bit depending on radio)

4. Use the 1...6 buttons to select either OCEANIA (or OCE) or EUROPE - both are valid settings for New Zealand - see below for differences.

5. Switch radio off to store the change

Your radio has now been reprogrammed to receive NZ FM frequencies!

Differences between OCEANIA and EUROPE modes on an E46 Business RDS radio (other radios may vary slightly):

a) EUROPE has LW, MW and FM. OCEANIA has AM and FM only.

OCEANIA shows ST for a FM stereo station; EUROPE doesn't show anything for stereo or mono FM stations.

c) EUROPE has the soft keys set to RDS and TP; OCEANIA has RDS and PTY

If you have no AREA funtion then your radio is an olg generation (OG) radio.

Only way to get NZ frequencies is by swapping the radio.
