Hi, I'm from Australia and have had similar issues with other radios from the US. The US has a different "station gap" to the rest of the world (of course!). You can't change the station gap on the radio as far as I am aware however you can manually increment/decrement the band using the Audio Control/File Tune **** and then store the stations as a preset.

Maybe this is something else that Obama can do (if he has some spare time) - i.e. try and bring the USA just a little closer to the rest of the world. It would make it easier for manufacturers etc to be able to standardise parts etc

Actually, radio stations in Canada and Latin America (as far as I know) have the same configuration as the U.S. I remember our old 1987 MB 190E 2.6 Becker Grand Prix allowed for a single digit increment. I am not sure offhand, but on some radios in vehicles there use to be some kind of switch behind the radio itself that allowed for such an adjustment, but I am not sure about the RX330 allowing that.

If you have an American RX then drive it in the US and you should have no problems at all.

The Lexus dealer in Estonia is www.unelmauto.ee but I bet they can't do anything about your radio.

I guess what you could do is sell your current RX and buy a new local one?

Don't lose hope. I am sure there is some easy way of changing the fm stepping, especially on a standard part like a car radio that is produced for multiple markets.

You should try to contact the radio equipment manufacturer directly - sorry I don't know who that is.

The local Lexus dealer probably has no interest in helping you...

georg if nothing works then consider getting an Ipod with built-in radio, and connect that to your car's stereo system either with FM transmitter, or hard-wiring.

This isn't that hard.

Use the Audio Control/File Tune **** in combination with the Search Button and then store the stations as a preset. If you know the frequencies of the stations it would make it faster.

I have the same problem. My "Fine Tune" jumps in double increments, so this solution does not work. Can anyone think of something else?

I know that Lexus has "tricks" flor setting up car preferences by activating multiple buttons at once. I thought there might be somthing for that, that Lexus dealers are hiding from us. Does someone have the full list of tricks?

Thanks,
