You can't get freq more than 90MHz (correct me if I am wrong) so no Hitzfm or mixfm for you guys <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />On the side Japs spec normally tend to have lower mileage,less or no rust and perhaps cheaper due to lower import tax (special Msia-Jap agreement I think to boost trade).UK specs tend to have more rust and higher mileage and the odometers are in MPH. Most dealers unfortunately clocked (tamper) the odometer to make the car look low mileage.But no issues with radio reception as the UK uses the same frequency as Mysia.Cheers</blockquote>
