Theo54 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) When you change the Japanese tuner to an NZ New type, does the display show the correct KHz? or is still the same as if you had a band expander on the old Japanese one? '97 E39 540i Cheers. I own a 2005 BMW 645Ci The car came from Florida and was imported into the Netherlands. I want to change the US freqeuncy 200kc to 100 kc.

How to do this, who can help a desperate Dutch guy? kind regards Theo Edited August 24, 2010 by Theo54 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quick and dirty: Remove the radio tuner module (in the left-hand C-pillar), fit it to a Euro 645Ci, and program the Euro 645Ci using the BMW diagnostic computer. The tuner will be set to Euro mode. Refit to the USA car. NOTE: tuner will revert back to USA mode if you ever have your car reprogrammed (service, repair etc) 2. Permanent: change the Vehicle Order from USA to Euro, and reprogram the vehicle. Much harder, not officially supported by BMW. You MUST have access to the BMW diagnostic computer to do either of these... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But everything else is the same. Look up www.RealOEM.com and locate the tuner on your car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
