aw-krazy 45 Report post Posted August 21, 2013 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?

yng_750 247 Report post Posted August 21, 2013 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yng_750 247 Report post Posted August 21, 2013 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rogan 6 Report post Posted August 22, 2013 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
