    Dashboard frame for stereo swap

    Hi, as the US-stereo in my 2003 MGM LS does not work on all FM frequencies here in Germany, I am planning to swap a Kenwood BT60U in.
    Can anyone help with a source of supply for an adaptor frame from MGM 1.7 DIN to 1 DIN standard radio?
    Thanks in advance.

        Whats the FM band over there in Germany these days, still 88-100 mhz ? I have an old German radio from the late 50s, and it goes 88-100. Here in the US, we get 88-108.

          Hi Gadget,
          today (and as long as I can remember with my 52 years) the FM in Germany goes from 87,0 to 108 MHz. My 2003 MGM Radio unit has that range, but denies to log into stations with more than 1-digit after the comma. It is good at i.e. 97,1 but fails to find a station with 102,95. Regrettably we have a lot of "2-digit stations" over here.

            ah, I see. Our stations are every 200 khz, aka 98.1, 98.3, etc.

            The old 88-100 set I have is a Schaub-Lorenz made in 1959, so I really have no idea when that band may have stopped being used. I just know it was a German domestic market set due to the frequency range, and the band markings on the front being all in German. Instead of an FM button, it has UKW for example. I have a few other German radios from that time, but they were all export models with the US 88-108 band and English labels on the controls.
