Hi im new here. I just purchased a 2002 v35 and i cant seem to get a radio signal higher than 90.0fm? Not sure how to fix this. Thanks im located in Brisbane

The FM radio in Japanese cars won't go beyond 90. Mhz as Japanese radio is set into a lower band than ours (88-108Mhz).

 

In order to get around this you can:

1. Replace the headunit.

2. Use an FM transmitter for your phone/mp3 player and set it to lower than 90Mhz.

 

Possibly the head unit could be re-flashed with new firmware, but I've not seen it before.

 

Hope this helps. [emoji16]

 

 

Edit: I've assumed that you have the OEM radio in your car.

You can also buy a box that goes in the antenna line (ie, the car's antenna plugs into it and then you plug the box into the head unit's antenna input) and it subtracts X MHz from the signal and effectively scales back all the local stations so they tune in on the Jap frequency range. It's what we all did in the 90s.

Thankfully, your vehicle is old enough to be easy enough for that kind of task. I'll leave it to dudes who have done it to say what needs doing (or you can find plenty of forum threads through Google that would explain how).

You might want to double check that you don't already have bluetooth (you might be lucky) and the existing head unit may be bluetooth capable.

If you dont have bluetooth, i should expect all new headunits would be capable. Just double check the specs if you are going to buy one, but i honestly couldn't see it being not available on some headunits, its cheap easy (for manufacturers) and what the market demands... [emoji16]

      Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.

      Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.

      f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
