Car radio frequencys.......

[Amdathlonuk]

After selling my baby (Pioneer FH-P6600R) I'm looking for a decent single head unit to replaceit, due to space restrictions...:rolleyes:

However, if I buy a Headunit from America as they are about £200 cheaper then over here, am I right in thinking that it won't work properly because of the FM frequencies?:confused:

If that's the case I'll have to pay full wack by the looks of things.....I'm looking at getting a Pioneer DEH-8400?

Or does anyone elso know of some nice units for about £400....

Bugger me!!!! I've hit over a 1000 posts...:)

cant you get frequency adjusters ? i have heard about them for jap import cars ( they can only get up to radio 2 )

i may be talking **** but its another suggestion for you to explore

and at the mo you are looking a bit sick for answers

frequency adjusters was just a term i made up but it will raise this thread without needing a bttt :p :p :p :p

not sure about the fm signals issue...

but for 400 quid i would either go for the pioneer dehp8400mp, or the alpine cda7894rb both have been given excellent reviews ( seemed to lean more towards alpine) and the alpine is 20 quid cheaper...

The jap imports (like my mr2) have a 'bandwidth expander'.

They're OK but Radio 1 comes up as 83.9 and I can't get my local station on it (Radio Aire).

If your spending a lot of cash I'd go with the pukker UK version just to be on the safe side.
