Hi all!

I bought an appradio 2 in the USA recently and had it installed in my car in The Netherlands. The unit works great (except of course for some minor tweaks). However, the European FM frequencies differ from the US frequencies. I wonder if there is a possibility to address this problem by installing "European" Pioneer software or firmware.

If this is not possible, I can try to create a "workaround" by using internet radio...

Greetings,

Martijn

Nobody has any idea?

Did you ever give this a whirl?

Someone did this over on the appradio forums.  This Russian gentleman was in the same situation as you and he reported that reflashing to the European firmware was a complete success.  FM bandwidths and even the parking brake issue.

I just re-updated my SPH-DA100 with UK 8.30 firmware and it fixed the radio frequency issue. I was on US 8.30 firmware before this.

Parking bypass only need a permanent grounding.

Tried re-updating mine but radio still won't display metadata or work at all in fact. Has to go back to Pioneer apparently.
