European radio Frequency?


Recommended Posts

I have imported a 996tt from USA to europe and i have a problem with my PCM.

How do i get the PCM radio to search for radio stations with 100khz diffrence(Example: 100.0mhz 100.1mhz 100.2mhz etc..)???

It searches with 200khz diffrence now(Example: 100.1mhz 100.3mhz etc...).

Do i have to reprogram it or buy a new one?

go to dealer, they will switch it with PIWIS, may as well ask them to switch side lights to turn signals (though i am not sure if it was implemented on 996 or only on 997 onwards so you may have to re-wire; you will need that to comply with european regulations)

Thank you for the reply! :)

I have been to the dealer and they have tried to switch it with the PIWIS. But it didn´t work, there was a configuration option for the frequency band that they changed from US to European, but it still didn´t work. Have they maybe done it the wrong way(it was the dealers first time doing this kind of operation) or does this operation not work on my PCM beacause it´s a specific US model???

part catalog shows only one part world-wide. so should be something at the dealer.
