M13KYF Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hi Shaffos and There has been mixed reprts with radio frequency shifters. Some have had it work, some not and I don't know why. Doesn't help me not having a JDM unit either. Some more people will be along to advise. Personally I think the Bose Head Unit is OK. But then I have the Sub Woofer which may help the overall sound.

nikos Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 they dont expand the frequencies - ie you still cant go past 90 on FM, what it does is shift all the radio staions above 90 to below 90 - it works something like this - you have to take away 20 so Kiss 102 becomes 82. dont quote me on the 20, it may be 22 or 24.

Leenx Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Going with Lomoto on this one - those radio expanders are pants!! I've gone down the route of binning the Bose head unit from my JDM import and just bought a second hand head unit - can't be ar*ed with the agro anymore!!!!
