Car Stereos: american bmw radio player in europe, bmw radio, professional radio

Question
Dear Justin,

I'm from Greece, and i have found in ebay of us a BMW professional radio with very very lower price than here in Greece..
So, the thing is that if i buy it,will it be capable to play(receive) radio stations in Europe(Greece), and if not, is the re any possibility to fix it?

thank you

Answer
Hi Kostas,

Unfortunately, unless the deck is also from an eastern European country, the deck will be designed to tune stations in FM frequencies that your deck would not match.

Also, AM frequencies don't increment in the same amounts, so only some stations would work (ones where the values happen to coincide.)

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do about that.
