etienne22 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I want to by the AVIC Pioneer F 700 BT in the US but i wonder if the radio will work in Western-Europe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muRte Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Nope, it will not work. It will receive odd radio stations, for example: 96.1, 96.3, 96.5, ... And RDS is not present. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

etienne22 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I need this radio stations in Belgium (Antwerp): 94.2, 97.5, 89.0, 100.9, 103.4, 99.2 That's a problem ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muRte Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 You will only receive the 97.5 and 100.9. The others will not be received. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
etienne22 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 You will only receive the 97.5 and 100.9. The others will not be received. On ebay i reed this from the reseller of the Pioneer F 700 BT: International Information: This unit comes with US/Canada Maps. You will need to have international maps (or purchase them from the manufacturer) to use this unit in outside of N America. This is a US model but will tune radio stations worldwide. The FM broadcast band is 87.8 to 108.0 MHz. so it will not pick up any FM stations outside this range. Also, the tuning is in .1 increments (such as 96.1, 96.2, 96.3, etc.) so all station will be picked up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muRte Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yeah, but that just isn't correct. I e-mailed that store and this is the answear that I've got from them: "Hi, According to Pioneer, the unit can be changed to international frequency using the pioneer service remote, that is why I wrote that. We are not trying to fool anyone but we have sold the AVIC-F700BT to European customers without a problem. Look at the feedback we have gotten from international customers that bought it. Let me know if you're having trouble and we'll be happy to help, Customer Support" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
etienne22 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 "the unit can be changed to international frequency using the pioneer service remote" is not true, is that what you mean? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muRte Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I'm still waiting for them to explain to me what the hell is the "pioneer remote".. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
etienne22 Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Today i ask Pioneer support about this problem. They told me the US radio would NOT work in Europe!!! There is nothing to do about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paQ Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm 90% sure it will, but we just need to know the code or steps to take in order to set it. I'm not buying it the US model has a hardware FM tuner which is not able to tune on .1 increments. Either Pioneer doesn't know or they don't tell us how to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akkasoglu Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 i think entering service menu can be a solution to this problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markostilo Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I also think that the solution lies! My problem is: when you join the service menu display go off!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dahar313 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hey guys, I was thinking of one solution for this problem: AVIC has both USB and SC card reader and there must be a USB stick or sd card with radio antena on it!!! Cant we just put plug'n'play usb radio stick in AVIC and play radio via USB (not AVIC one)?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dahar313 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I was googling and found something https://www.mx5oc.co.uk/forum/forums/t/3939.aspx I am not a technical guy but may be we can do the same with our AVIC. Can someone please see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
