I have been looking for a new car stereo with clean lines retro styling and minimalist flash for my 1980 RX-7. I have found one that I like, the Pioneer DEH-P77MP. However, I can only find it available in Europe.

Can anyone tell me if there are any differences between American and European radios? And if I would have any trouble using a European radio in the U.S. ?

Won't work. The radio frequencies are different.

Wrong, very wrong. If what you said rynberg, then american stereos wouldn't work in Europe right? The only problem with using let's say american stereos in europe is that I don't catch all the stations. In europe they use odd and even stations(97.1, 97.2, 97.3,97.4) so with that being said using a european stereo in the states would catch all the stations even the ones you don't use.

Actually, they will. And "dznutzuk" is correct. There are odd and even numbered frequencies past the decimal in Europe that U.S.-spec source units won't pick up.

rynberg

Sorry for the bad info. It must be Japan that has the completely different radio frequencies then.

yeh, japan ones read from 68-88mhz or something close to that. US stereos pick up were they leave off. But you can instal a converter to pick US stations on a jap stereo.
