I fint this, but without some image reference... "How do I change the radio settings so that it can receive European/Australian FM frequencies?"...
If you are in Europe or Australia, the FM radio will be set to receive
only odd frequencies (97.1, 97.3). To change it to receive even
frequencies, do the following: Between the chassis of the player and the
circuit board is a piece of card to stop the connections from shorting
out. Remove the chassis and the card and the switch should be visible
underneath, there may be a hole punched in the card and the chassis but
they do not line up so the switch may not be not visible. Once this
switch is changed to "Europe" settings, you will be able to change the
radio frequency "steps" as noted in the instructions manual.
Hope helps.
Good day!

Hello Molevser,

Hi,
You really need to get your hands on a workshop manual - this will provide instructions on changing the settings to the applicable country.
Better still....
Just try ringing your local Alpine Car Audio "Service Agent".
The method of changing the stepping should apply to majority of the latest head units.
I use to work for Kenwood Car Audio, but not familiar with the technical factory adjustments on Alpine. I will do my best to find Alpine's equivalent info on changing the stepping modes.
Watch this space....
Do you know, where can I find service manual for my Alpine?
Hiya,
Further to our discussion, I have located a different model Alpine Service Manual..........
ZJL Limited has the closest prognosis so far.........
According to the service manual, FM step adjustments can only be achieved by modifing the Tuner on the motherboard, using a Signal Generator with the appropriate measuring equipment. Only a Car Audio electronics technician in your area will be able to do this for you.......
Drop me your email and I will send you the FM tuner adjustment from the manual........
Cheers,
Scott

Hi,
For service menu and more other setups, please follow this link - " http://issuu.com/talkaudio/docs/idax303_manual". Hope this will help you.
The frequency step is a hardware characteristic - it's determined by the rank of the multiplier that is attached to the crystal oscillator. This is impossible to change without extensive hardware modifications and you will need a very well equipped shop for that - it will be extremely expensive, way more than the unit is worth.
Just use the present available frequencies on autoscan - the AFC (automatic frequency control) will compensate.
Well, it should be able to tune to UK stations easily but the problem is that you are only accessing the presets (US). there are a few steps you have to go through. get this manual, from page 10-12. all you have to do is there. otherwise, post back for further guide.
thanks
Hi..
press and hold function/setup for at least 2 second to active the SETUP selection mode

Ok, unless you are an absolute technical genius, this is simply not possible to do. The fequency step is set within the stereo's firmware which is written to a nand flash Integrated Circuit. To even make it possible to change the frequency step you would have to either write a custom piece of firmware for the stereo and flash the nand IC with it, or change the nand IC altogether. This probably would not work though as the rest of the circuits would be looking for a specific set of instructions and simply would not find them. In this case it really is not going to be possible to change the frequency step of the stereo I am afraid.
Sorry but unfortunately it is not possible to do things sometimes
Hi,
The following link will take you to the user manual for your radio, which also includes diagrams. If you go to the section labeled "Radio", it will detail how to manually change frequencies.

It doesn't work! The Radio is from US and frequency step is 0.2MHz in ALL(!) searching modes.
Radio is from the US and its frequency search uses only odd frequencies ex.: 89.9--90.1--90.3--90.5--etc.
How to switch tuner to work with European standart? (89.9--89.95--90.0--90.05--91.0--etc.)
Thanks, but what should I do with setup menu? There no anything to solve my problem. I need make European standard radio from US. For this purposes is the special service menu or it is need to reinstall some components on the main PCB. How to get service menu I don't know, and I haven't got wiring diagram to make changes.
Did anybody something like I need before?
You are 100% understood what I need. But, unfortunately, IDA-X303 hasn't got any switches (except one on the bottom side - for use external controller) by which I could solve my problem. So or it special service menu or some components on PCB.
Thank for your try.
I need make from US radio Europe radio on my Alpine IDA-X303
Unfortunately, there aren't solving my problem in that manual (I've already got it). Previous expert understood completely what I need. Thanks.
How to make US radio to receive even frequencies?
Have: 89.9-90.1-90.3-etc. Need: 89.9-90.0-90.1-90.2-etc.
Thanks, but it isn't solution.
You are wrong about that it is impossible to change. Models for US and Europa are same by their hardware. There is a way to switch it, but only Alpine specialists know how. They don't say, unfortunately.
Did anybody do that i need?
Thanks, but it isn't service manual. It is just user manual. I've alredy got it.
Please, help me. Don't offer user manual.
Did you see my previous posts? User manual doesn't contain any information I need.
Please, don't offer me to look User Manual!!!
Ok. Where I can find such a manual?
Our country service is very poor and it offers me to buy enother (right) unit
Do you know, where to get service (not user) manual for my alpine?
I am looking forward for your assistance. Thanks.
That you are offer isn't a solution. It isn't correspond the problem.
PLEASE!!!
DON'T OFFER TO REED THE USER MANUAL!!!
IT ISN'T CONTAIN SOLUTION OF MY PROBLEM!!!
Thanks. But I am sure that US receiver and European are the same by their hardware. Of coarse, it is possible they have their own firmware. I think the manufacturer isn't stupid and left a way to reprogram unit with new firmware without replacing ICs. All that I need to find how to do it.
I've got receiver from US and its frequency step is 0.2 (89.9--91.1--91.3--etc) I need freq. step as at unit produced for Europa 0.05 to have possibility to turn on even freq. (89.9--89.95--90.0--90.05--91.0--etc).
Thanks a lot. My E-mail is [email protected]
