changing radio frequency?

[jack5]

hi
i have a toyota camry hybrid imported from us to israel
Everything is great except for one annoyance - the radio frequencies are set to 0.2 KHz odd number jumps instead of 0.1 KHz like in Europe
Seems that there is no place to change this setting, which I find hard to believe since the entire car is software controlled.
Any ideas on how to solve this? It just can't be impossible!

kindly elaborate your problem.

IN the rest of world radio frequencies increment by each decimal value (e.g. 87.8, 87.9, 80.0, 80.1), in the U.S. we increment by twos at tthe odd values (e.g. 87.9, 80.1, 80.3). I understnad the nature of your issue Jack, but unfortunately I have no idea how it might be remedied, short of swapping out the factory radio.

What about subscribing to satellite radio? Would that solve the problem?

I don't think that XM is available over there?

Change the radio.

N.E.O.

hi.
After owning a hybrid camry for olmost 6 monthes, I can tell you for sure that it is not possible.
What I'm doing is just plug an mp3 player that has an FM radio to the AUX outlet and enjoy

I live in Hungary and i was the same problem with original FM radio.

I built a device to the antenna input that shift the FM frequency 0,1 MHz.
Now the radio find every channels, the ones with odd number ending freqs, just the even number ending frequency channels will appear at 0,1 MHz lower frequency than before:

The original radio channel frequency in the picture: 94,8 PETOFI, 97,8 RADIR, 100,8 SLAGER, 105,6 MR1, 107,0 KEK DUNA, 107,8 MR1.

In my website readable the modify is english and hungarian (and many more homemade for european TCH users):
