JDM FM radio reception

[serendipity]

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

I bought one band expander, fitted it and it worked fine...you tried 3???? Are u sure u fitted em right? lol

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.
