    I have an issue with the OEM radio.
    It seems I can't lock on some stations, not manually and not with a scan.
    For example, one station is 96.6fm, and when using the manual mode, it goes from 96.5 to 96.7. Scanning also skips 96.6.
    When using the the voice command , I say "tune to 96.6" and I'm getting the reply "tuning to 96.7"....
    What the heck am I missing here?

    I’m not a radio operator or anything like that, but pretty sure FM signals are always odd.

    It’s probably not enough of a strong signal to pick up at your destination. Try programming it when it comes up and see what that does.

    Usually that’s a difference between Europe and US settings, in the us it’s odd and overseas it’s even.

    Usually is, but you’d have to check your manual, I don’t have one of those radios

    no. you'd need to replace the radio with an EU=spec version to get that functionality. it'd region-locked
