In US standard spacing, the FM tuning range is 87.5 to 107.9MHz, and the AM tuning range is 530 to 1710kHz. In European spacing, the FM tuning range is 87.5 to 108MHz, and the AM tuning range is 522 to 1620kHz.

Some headunits have a switch to select which you are using. Most don't. I don't think there is a way to mod a headunit that dosen't have it. Your headunit will work you just won't be able to tune all of the channels.

Hey Magic,

I see you did the same mistake as i did when i was coming from the states. I just cant pick the stations with even (ie 94.8, or 103.2 , 107.6) and i get all stations ending with an odd number (ie 99.3, 96.1, 88.7) Haven't found a way to fix it yet but since i am getting a lot of stations anyway i dont really care about it.
