Yeah, details, goddammit!
It might not be possible to change it. Here's an old thread of the same issue: https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/thr...o-change-tuner-from-us-sa-frequencies.373540/

Drowned is perhaps not the correct word, but they say the aircon pipe is near the radio and that causes condensation and that water came on the pc board.

Not amused...
In this case FM stands for: Fooled Me...and then becomes: Fuk Me....

I know lots of guys that have imported OEM VW radios, mainly from China, and use them in their Golf's and Polo's. Perhaps it needs some coding?

I'm relatively normal, I think, and that looks like a radio of some sort, not a cell phone.
