Japan radio frequency to NZ

[Sheytoon 0]

Hi guys,

This might of come up before but does anyone know how to change the radio frequency of a '03 Z4 from Japan to NZ. The only station i can listen to is 88.6 and god its making my ear drums bleed. Would i have to get an expander and if so where from, how much and how hard are they to install?

You don't need a band expander and you don't need any tools.

Do this:

1. ign on and radio on

2. within 10 secs, press and hold SEL (if you have nav) or M (if no nav). Service menu will appear

3. Scroll through Service Menu with < > or 1...6 buttons (can't remember which, try and see) until AREA=JPN appears

4. Change AREA to EUROPE or OCEANIA using the 1...6 buttons (maybe repeated presses of 1 required)

5. Turn radio off, turn ign off to save settings

Voila!
