Will an American stereo work in a UK car?

Andy:
as above - it wil work but you won't be able to get some radio stations-not a problem if you only play cds

Hurdy:
Even I'm confused now :confused:

How can you tune into a different frequency and still get the same station?

Or are you just talking about the frequency search function?

big al:
Nice one guys,
Well after a bit of e mailing I have managed to sort one out for a great price of £220 Shipped,
Not too bothered about the radio names, as  hardly ever use the radio and if I do its just for Radio 1 in an evening, but may go for digital connection at a later date.
Will update once it gets ordered and delivered, no more 40 odd cds in the glovebox, yay!!!

TomB:
According to Wikipedia, US stereos go from 87.8-108.0 with a 0.2 gap, so if Radio 1 is 98.2 like it is sound here, you'll still get it.  I think the stations with an odd number are the difficult ones.  

Sounds like you got a very good deal there, I look forward to seeing pics!  :happy2:

DanoGTI:
It's because most radio stations transmit on multiple frequencies  (to cater non-interference with local radio et al)

As long as the frequency scan covers the same range, you'll be alright - as stated, you'll *potentially* have issues with the station names.

Dan :wink:
