I live in NY and just got the Avic F900 BT and see it onlys go's down to 87.9. Is there anyway to make it go below 87.9 like 87.7, We have a station here in NY thats 87.7 and def like the Tunes on that station. Any help would be great Thanks guy's.
Sorry, there's no way.
This link is not an f-series radio, but the same conclusion is drawn. The lowest FM frequency allowed by the FCC for broadcast is 87.9, and therefor any FM radios made for the US market will not go below that.

Wow. Why would a station broadcast on a frequency not allowed? Is this a Canadian station by chance? Does HD radio allow this? I know nothing about this stuff, that's why I'm curious. Makes no sense for me to own a radio station most people can't listen to.
I called pioneer and sorry we cant get pulse 87 pioneer radios dont dip below 87.9
is it posibble that in the same range the tuner goes one decimal. From, like 87,9...90,0...90,.1....90,2?

no but what are you trying to accomplish?
I'm using this unit in Europa. And i only have half of the radio stations wich are on the air 
and i would like to have all of tham 
Any help would be great Thanks guy's.
I don't have luck Look at this the chips are the same so there has to be a softwer solution
No, one is for USA and the other is for Europe.They are not the same.
I call the pioneer end they thold me. The chip iz the same but they dont have a softwear for this unit end they dont knew how to exchange it!
Ok, it's sad to say but Customer service isn't that knowledgable about their systems,just read numerous post about their bad service.If it's only a software issue then there has to be a software to have a USA/Eur. version.I'm sure Pioneer knows how to flash a system to convert it to a Eur. version. For that service rep. to say that Pioneer doesn't know how to fix it is like saying Pioneer doesn't know how to fix all the problems that the F series are having and they're mostly software related!

But we keep coming back to the same thing, the US FM band is from 87.9-108, the station that's broadcasting at 87.7 knows they're under where the FCC standard starts, and they took their risks by doing it. Even the tuning steps between channels are different in the UK vs US.
I have this hunch you're never going to see more then 20 stations in the US that break the rules and are under 87.9, and yes, it stinks that one is a popular NYC channel, but that's why we have standards.

I have a Pioneer Elite system at my house that goes down to 87.5 but again that doesn't apply to the Pioneer car systems.
