Default Accord 06 radio frequency all wrong

Hi guys,

I have a problem with my accord radio set. The range of the FM radio frequencies are now haywired! They have a difference of "12" - if i like to tune to channel 98.0FM, it will be displayed as 86.0FM (98.0 - 12.0)!

Anybody knows how to reset this?

Thanks!

Just a guess, I'm not an expert on this.

Busted radio?

Try disconnecting the battery.

Here's another guess: Not in the USA?

USA FM radio frequencies are always odd-number for tenths of MHz. Like 98.5, 98.7, 98.9 MHz and you will not find a 98.4 or 98.6 MHz station.

I know that doesn't really answer your question, but the radios in different parts of the world are different. Keep that in mind when you try things that we might suggest.

You can have the battery and charging system tested, as sometimes low voltage can cause weird electrical issues. In addition, try disconnecting the negative battery cable to see if it changes anything.

Otherwise, it sounds like a problem with the audio unit's internal PLL tuner or microprocessor if it wasn't doing that before.

Since you're not in the U.S., have you checked other digital tuners to see if maybe there's some change in broadcast frequencies for the area you're in?
