I was just wondering if there was any possible way to tchange the frequency on a car radio?My friend sold his car recently and gave me his old radio which he brought from japan.He jsut used his cd and tape player.i think the highest radio station on the radio is like 88.0 and the lowest here is like 88.1...does anyone know anyhting about this?

yeah japan uses different radio frequencies so the radios arent compatible. thats the only problem with buying a japanese deck (ie cool double din with MD and shit like that). i think ive heard of the frequency converters, but never seen one.

AudioCubes.com sells frequency converters as well as Japanese car stereos and other cool stuff we can't get here.

Nifty site.

Here's a link to get the converter:

No problem for the info...

They're very easy to install. One end plugs into your antenna connection and the other goes to the stereo. Hook it up to some 12v power and you're done.
