Alpine radio works fine, but only searches fm stations from 69 to channel 90. Most stations here start at 90 and go as high as 107.Radio is new, just bought on e-bay. traffic information is on AM!!! instead on fm. Cannot enter in set-up either. What could be the trouble?? regards Casper Maltha Rotterdam the Netherlands alpine is the head-unit in a p38 range rover.it also refuses to play any cd's from the changer. says there is no cd. Unit is brandnew.

car starts, runs and drives perfectly?
AC or heater blower works on high?
head lamps work fully and brightly.?
tail lamp (park) all glow? ?
brake lamps work and are bright.
check fuses?
look for connections to the radio loose or damaged

AM Radio dead means the antenna is missing wires to it bad. or missing.
FM may work say on 1 stations if the stations is like 5 miles away, all stations that are under say 25miles must work or the antenna is bad. FM, and vastly farther for AM.
we do not know where you live( a town) so can never guess
what stations are in range to you. see?

I didn't see a manual online in searches.

It might be able to discover something from questions on the web sites sellling it, or ask your specific question and see if it is answered.

If you push the middle button it will switch from Bluetooth mode to radio. The first time I used mine it immediately searched through all the radio stations it could detect and store that information. Kind of like when you plug in a new TV. Once that scan is done it will play the lowest numbered station, you then use the buttons on the left or right to advance to the station you want. Don't press middle button again or it will go to Bluetooth. Good Luck

Turn on the device with the power button and then press and hold the "play/pause" button down until you hear the radio. Press and hold the back and forward button to control the volume and press the back and forward button with a quick release to switch the radio channels.

Hold down the play/pause button until the radio turns on. First time you use it, it takes a couple of minutes to program the channels then use arrows keys to go through the programmed channels.

all stations AM?

is the engine running?

for get the portable, some have vastly better a/m radios than any car has. in fact many cars radios a/m OR of horrid quality.

i can tell you why but its boring. (AGC, read up on that)

did you try the radio in car, parked say across town.?

did you try all stations

are you like 1 block away from an AM radio station, overloading yours.

AM radios are basically noise making radios., that is why FM was invented to stop that noise, (i cant hear it so.........?????)

are you listening to far away stations, this is normal

in fact you might hear 2 stations on same channel (freq)

and they will beat against each other.

on case of is in S.Calif where your station is clobbered by high power mexican stations 50,000 watts. strong.

and worse a night, does it get better in the day?



here is my advice, many AM stations have a rebroadcast on FM.

go there and listen. (use SAT radio?)

AM radio is subject to vast sources of noise.

ignition noise., high voltage power transmission line noise.

machinery noises, (electric)

or even illegal transmitters in your hood.



many new cars the AM radio is junk, they use this very cheap

chip inside that does this very poorly, but allows them to say

it has AM. ( for $1 cost)

the FM side is 10x better, or more. move up to FM like we all did back in 1967. (i used to build and sell converters back then)





answering for , all other modes work perfect, but AM radio..

fm frequencies are just that fm frequencies ( not japanese, chinese ,english or anything else
it is a range of frequencies in the fm band that local stations broadcast on
so all you have to do is to turn the tuner knob until you get 107 fm
so as you turn the knob you will loose 89 and it will go probably 90.5 , 100.20, 102.7 etc and if there is a station broadcasting that your radio will pick up it will come in and then fade out as you keep moving the knob
you may have to change the mode as there are fm 1 ,fm 2,fm 3 bands to get your fm 107 as it will depend on what megahertz 107 is operating on

all stations, AM and FM?
is the antenna , broken? or unplugged from rear of radio?

past 90.?
that is FM. and FM must have an antenna to work
or are you saying the button fails to advance the stations.
if yes, that is a bad radio.

Here is a link to the user guide for the T6300 series. http://www.giantintl.com/ContentManage-new/manuals/Moto/T6300_User_Manual_E.pdf

The instructions for tuning the FM radio feature are on pages 22-23. You can have the radio scan for available stations, or you can do a manual search .01khz at a time. Once you have found a station, you can save the location.

Best regards.

Not very specific. Do you have the manual?

The following is from a VSX-03TXH manual. It ain't pretty but it may help.

I'm posting it in multiple parts due to space contraints.

Chapter 6:

Using the tuner

Listening to the radio

The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and

AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and

manual (step) tuning functions. If you already know the

frequency of the station you want, see Tuning directly to a

station below. Once you are tuned to a station you can

memorize the frequency for recall later-see Saving

station presets below for more on how to do this.

1 Press the FM/AM button to select the tuner.

2 Use the FM/AM button to change the band (FM or

AM), if necessary.

Each press switches the band between FM and AM.

3 Tune to a station.

There are three ways to do this:

Automatic tuning

To search for stations in the currently selected band,

press and hold TUNE ?©/?? for about a second. The

receiver will start searching for the next station,

stopping when it has found one. Repeat to search for

other stations.

Manual tuning

To change the frequency one step at a time, press

TUNE ?©/??.

High speed tuning

Press and hold TUNE ?©/?? for high speed tuning.

Release the button at the frequency you want.

Improving FM stereo sound

If the TUNED or STEREO indicators don't light when

tuning to an FM station because the signal is weak, press

the MPX button to switch the receiver into mono

reception mode. This should improve the sound quality

and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.

Using Neural THX

This feature uses Neural Surround™, THX® technology to

achieve optimal surround sound from FM radio.

• While listening to FM radio, press AUTO/DIRECT for
Neural THX listening.

first you have to set a channel in your sat radio then tune your car radio to that channel go to menu and then to set fm frequency in your sat radio and choose one try to get one that does not have a station on it whatever you set it at just tune your car radio to that frequency and it will work

neither of those units use fibre optic cables! but it sounds like you puled out the antenna wire behind the head unit. if you try and search radio stations without the manual tune on and it keeps changing frequency on it and never stops then its the antenna plug.
