stock r32 cassette deck

[marcus32]

recently i got my r32 and it still has the stock cassette deck in it but the only problem is the radio only scans from 79.0 to 90.0 about so i can't really pick up any stations. is this just because as i am the first to own it since been imported then it still has the deck from japan or is it an aerial problem, plus it's only a cassette deck not a cd player too. any help would be greatly appreciated.

i just wanna see if i can fix it first before i put an aftermarket deck in it later.

its the japanese radio bands they only go up to 90 u can get an expander for em but i dont really think its worth it

[marcus32]

so basically it's useless for here

Not really. You can buy a band/fm expander for around $25 that will allow you to pick up most of the Australian stations. Pretty easy to install and it's a cheap alternative if you don't want to shell out for a headunit at the moment.

where exactly can i get one from and how do u go about installing it to the stock unit

[BADHAB|T]

Take the head unit out, plug it into the back of the factory item, plug onto the end of the aerial lead, one wire connects to Accessory. 10-15 min job!

either way is fine. if you do it through the shop site then I see it immediately. whereas I check this site every 2-3 days.
