Can any Aussies Help Please?

I have had a PM from a Member Down under in Australia.
Does the British Radio Tuner Box from the Hi Line System will work there?
I have no idea and hope one of you can Help.

All the ICE systems we ever tested for MG Rover while out in Australia hot climate testing worked fine. The only place they wont work is Japan as they operate on a different frequency.

Did you ever test things the other way round - i.e. will any Japan spec bits work in the UK? (In particular, the Hi line head unit and the GPS receiver).

We did some reworks on Japanese spec 75s and the head units all had to be replaced as the radios operate on different frequencies to the UK and rest of the world. So in answer to your question, Japanese head units wont work in the UK.

What about Japanese GPS recivers - did they work in the UK?
(Probably not methinks).

No I am afraid not.
Many DVD Sat Nav Computers appear on EBay as Rover 75 fitting.
Warnings have been put on Site by others and Myself.
DVD Units were never Fitted for UK Models.

I can confirm the British Radio Tuner Box from the Hi Line System works fine in Australia. Just received and fitted the Tuner Box I purchased from JDC, tuned it to local frequencies with no problems at all.

Glad it got to you safely and fitted Quickly.
