Toyota passo lcd radio does not show channels above 90 MHz

[mugheesnawaz]

Does anyone know how to change the setting of the FM radio of this lcd system. Initially it had all the channels but now it plays only two i.e 89 MHZ and 89.4 MHZ

Please guide me on how to reset it to the settings that was before it.

What you did with the settings (or removed battery, dvd player etc), as you mentioned it was initially showing all the channels.

• actually FM Radio bandwidth in Japan is somewhere aroung 76MHz - 90MHz, and our Pakistani FM range is as per European/American standard 88MHz - 108MHz.

So, japanese radios can only play 2-3 channels which are falling in the range of their radios.

there are two options to rectify this:

1- Either find some settings if your radio has an option to select between two frequency ranges (i havent seen any japanese radio having this option, but as you said it was previously showing all channels, so your radio might have this option as it is some newer model)

2- second option is to install a FM Frequency converter before the antenna cable, so it will convert the frequencies according to this radio. for example, Screen will show you 76MHz but it is playing channel of some frequency like 91 MHz.
cheap (low quality) frequency converters are available for Rs. 100-200/- at almost every car audio shop. But if you want a high quuality, you have to search it.

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed reply.
My brother told me that initially it had all the channels.when i started using it, it only played two.
And i trued my head around its settings that too using googla translator for japanese to english but couldnt find it.that is why i wanted to know if anyone has used this lcd and has all the channels or facing the same issue as mine.
I will consider buying frequency converter meanwhile thanks to your tip.
