Radio Issues

[DeniseW]

Hi I have just bought an Audi Q3 Quattro 2014 Japanese import radio frequency only ranged from 79MHz to 90MHz does anyone know if I buy a new stereo head unit will it open up the frequency so I can get stations here in UK. I have seen one from a European car 

Many thanks

I doubt that being a Japanese import is relevent because this page:

https://mytuner-radio.com/radio/country/japan-stations/frequency/fm

tells us that 73-107 MHz is is use there.

Have you tried "auto seek" or whatever the right term is? Have you tried manual tuning? Is there a second FM band you can switch to? Have you got a filter turned on to detect only strong signals?

Hi

I've tried manual tuning and auto seek only on FM band and only range is 79 - 90 MHz so I'm bit baffled

Hi 

I should mention I am in UK driving imported Japanese Audi not in Japan trying to get stations in Japan initial post may have confused my question

Yes I appreciate that. I too am baffled because I would expect Japanese cars to be able to receive Japanese radio broadcasts, which happen to be much the same range of frequencies as we use in Britain.

If you can find the model name or number of the radio perhaps you can get some data from the internet.
