serendipity Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I have just bought an early JDM 350Z with BOSE radio. It does not appear to have been altered to pick up UK stations. Is there an easy mod to achieve this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Welcome to the forum. From what I believe the answer is no...... however I stand corrected. Most owners change the head unit out for a better model usually with IPOD control or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Just buy a band expander from ebay, there about £8-12....doesn't matter which you get, there all the same. All you do is plug the ariel into it and run a 12v feed to it...you can do this by cutting into the orange wire on the back of the HU. Takes about an hour to fit as you have to take the console appart to get to the back of the unit. Once done, you can get UK radio stations.

martinmac Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hi and welcome to the forum. I dont have a JDM but seem to remember that there are mixed opinions on these expanders. A few more will be along to confirm this soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Tried 3 different band expanders on mine, none worked, just bought a Sony head unit they are cheap enough now, the Bose is crap anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboydunn Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I tried 2 and they were not very good, so I bought a new Pioneer that works with Ipod etc that works a lot better. Depends how much you want to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
