Converting a jap import car radio

Apr 07, 2007 25 Replies

Now that you mention it, I vaguely remember getting caught by some Yamaha amps with different boards, depending on the serial number. I'd forgotten all that until now. I must be getting old....

..... So you buy a replacement car raduio then. Cost next to nothing second-hand.

Has been converted, quite easy, the hardest part was removing the head unit and re-installing it.

All I had to do was remove R61 ( 47k 0805 ) and remove it or move it to R60 and it works straight away.

Thank you to those who were constructive with their help.

Cheers

Congratulations on finding out how to do it. :)

Thanks Bob,

It was quite east, there was a truth table and mark M K J and J had a dot in it, I could not figure out the difference between M & K however, I thought one may have been 9khz steps for AM and the other 10kHz for the US market but all three were 9khz.

Cheers

I'd have thought the same as you. As long as it works OK in Kiwi-land, that's all that matters. :)
