where can i get this? i heard the radio won't work in north america but would other fuction works?

 

the reason the radio doesnt work that well is because the stations are different in japan, and i dont think it can go past a certain number.... or something LOL

 

I've seen them on ebay before. Expensive dude.

 

is it made by gathers? it looks pretty nice

 

IMO don't buy it just because it's JDM. For the price of that deck, you could probably buy a very nice Nakamichi, Eclipse, Alpine ext.

 

Or you could even waste money on rims, right Dave?

 

for the price of 99% of OEM pieces from honda, you could buy much nicer stuff.. but some people like the OEMness..if thats a word

 

yeah your right, last time i was there, i think the highest i could go was like 88.0 or something, basically just before the US ones start.

 

We get lots (and I mean LOTS!!) of Japanese used imports here and our radio frequencies start at 90 (like the U.S I guess??) so its a real common problem.

Most people just put in a band expander - they're about $10 and actually work quite well.

The radio will work! AM/FM frequencies are the same. I have taken portable radios to and from Japan and they work in both countries

 

Maybe he wants to buy it because he likes the unique styling of it?

 

What styling? That POS doesnt even match the rest of the dash!

 

hey it is 'unique'

 

I'm sure you can get a converter thingamy so you can get all the stations.....

 

"Japanese FM operates from 76MHz to 90MHz. Since the rest of the world operates on 88MHz to 108MHz, a converter is necessary to tune into FM outside of Japan.

We have developed such a converter! Our 18MHz converter allows you to tune into FM stations from 94MHz to 108MHz. We includes this converter FREE with every radio purchase. We also have a 16MHz converter for customers who wish to listen to stations from 92MHz to 106MHz, available upon request - please write this in the Special Notes section when you order.


How does it work? For example, if you want to listen to 102.7 FM, you would tell your radio to tune into 102.7 - 18 = 84.7 FM. The radio will display 84.7MHz on the LCD display, but you will actually receive 102.7MHz. No internal modifications on the radio are necessary! Everything is done externally!"

i have a honda radio that doesn't go past 90fm. haha it's up for sale . lights up amber too haha

 

Thats actually light silver... there are no white ITR Decks.

 

If you get a jdm radio, wont all the music music be playing in japanese??

 

This is completely and udderly false in regards to the radio in question here. I have had one, and sold it due to the fact it doesn't pick up FM stations in the US without a converter. It will pick up random AM stations, if the station's number happen to match up with what is available on the radio itself.

I will say though, that the unit is far more clear and powerful than the US stock unit. CD playback sound quality of the unit damn near rivaled that of infinity and bose factory systems I have heard.

Here is the unit I had. As you can see the face is not so much silver but almost gold in color under certain light.

Pioneer

I got mine off ebay for $125 shipped

 

How much for the 16MHz? How does it install?

 

A lot of radios do go up to 108Mhz nowadays...

 

Why on gods green earth would you want it in your car? The volume adjustment isn't even on the right side.

 

On a slightly different note,does anyone know if there are any differences with the stereo system in the 98' and later model years? My head unit needs replacing and I was wondering if there was a later model year or something I could drop in that offered more power. I want to keep a factory model in the car. I don't care much about stereo,but the set up in my old 99'si sounded 10xbetter. The addition of my Spoon N1 didn't help much either. Factory 98' system

 

I've tried a 99Si headunit, 00 ITR headunit and a 97 GSR headunit and IMO they all suck for FM. The one in your Si sounded better because the Si has 6x9's in the rear along with 6.5's in the front doors. Rear 6x9's put out some nice bass.

All oem headunits seem to suck in the Integra.

Now, the oem radio in the 02+ Si is pretty decent. Seems to have a lot more power, but it won't fit due to the weird angle on the right of the radio.
