Factory Raidos

[fatboy18]

I do not have any idea how to tune my raido to english stations? I tred on my way home from Doctor Bobs to Listern to Virgin Raido For some reason the set cant find it! Any ideas?

yes buy a new radio or just listen to CD's, Baz ended up fitting a UK radio
just as well ahve you seen his CD collection

the US spec radio doesnt tune into to certain digits, something like 3,5,7 and our frequencys are is 2,4,6 something like that anyway

having said that i got a mention on Virgin tonight

not sure, probably not worth it when stereos are so cheap, and the stock stereo like the head lights are naff

More expence then

U.S. Stereos move in frequency shifts of .1, .3, .5, .7 & .9. U.K. frequencies cover the whole spectrum. There is no way to re-programme the head-unit as far as anyone is aware. I have heard that you can replace the head-unit for a U.K. spec. one though, but don't hold me to it.

it has to be the right stereo so speak to Bob, as it connected to the speedo, that makes the volume increase/decrease as you speed up/slow down

if the wire between the two is disconnected or not wired correctly the speedo doesnt work

stock stereo is a re-badged Alpine, so maybe easiet the route is a straight swap with a more modern UK Alpine

I cant find mine yet

I put an Alpine in mine just because it had the same conections on it for the power...

You will need to make up an RCA to DIN lead for the amp wireing to work..

And you MUST disconect the speed sensitive volume wire otherwise your speedo will not work and can somtimes blow the speedo.....

sounds like a round peg in a square hole to me . Cant we get the UK radio stations to broadcast on the propper US wave lengths . We need our own channel 'Viper V10 FM'

Amazing, I'm missing out, music in the car!

I upgraded my amps and I still can't hear anything, apart from background noise, above the exhaust and engine.

Stunning that Baz can hear his radio!

I know what you mean Kev, I think it's the sidepipes, Radio is pretty much useless... If I have my side screens in I can hear it a little better, but still have to have it up pretty darn loud to do so & it tends to be only on motorway journeys... the rest of the time the engine/exhaust is all I need to hear...

got nothing to do with side pipes, the only thing i use the radio for is the clock

[viper kev]

You have a radio with a clock in it and time to look at it when you are driving!!!
