Hi guys, I am finally one of you now, I am the proud owner of Howie's Green Machine, convertible Z28. I have a few questions and I am sure I will be on here a lot learning and asking lots of questions  I have one about the radio. When I try to tune it to pick up specific stations it can only move in odd increments, as in it will move up like 99.3 - 99.5 - 99.7 - 99.9 etc but I can't figure out how to get it to go onto an even number like 96.6 or 100.0. Is it possible and if so how? Thanks |

hey, congrats on the car. Is it auto or manual, cant remember what Howie had said... Which radio do you have, is it the stock GM one. I'll have a mess with mine tonight and see if I can figure out whats up with yours |

Hiya, Thanks very much yes I am very proud of her it's an Auto. Regarding the radio, yes I believe it is 100% stock GM from the factory. Any help/general thoughts you can give will be most appreciated. Thank you |

I think this is related to where the radio is desiged to operate In the US - all radio stations have odd numbered frequencies. So if the radio is designed to work there, just maybe that is the problem. (At least that is what I found out on the wonderweb).

Hiya, That sounds logical (I have not checked as I thought I would ask here first) Does anyone know for sure who listens to the radio in their Camaro? Can anyone pick up an even fm number? Thanks |

I agree with arizona, I didnt think of this until last night. I have Euro spe, so radio is fine, it picks up all stations with no problem (when I do listen to it) I think if the radio is a US varient you wont get the even numbers and something not even all the frequencies |

My old 3rd gen radio only had the odd or even numbers, can't remember... I cured it by fitting a decent Kenwood head unit.. I thought they sorted this on the 4th gen.. unless it's just the Euro spec as you say.. |

Hi, The radio on my 4th gen gets all the frequencies with no problems but then it is a Euro spec. The RPO code for the euro spec radio is UL2. I think the code for the US is UL1 but I´m not sure about that. Check your RPO codes and it will tell you. HTH |
