Tuner - USA vs UK

Does anybody know if there is a way to adjust or reprogram the tuner frequencies?
I have a US Spec RX-8 in the UK. Only problem is half the stations have an even number decimal. i.e. , 95.4, 104.4 vs. the US where everything is odd 93.3, 104.9 etc.
I know... Who listens to radio anymore? Well, I do. Just wondering if anybody can help out.

you might just have to swap out the stereo for the UK version. you could also order the Metra dash kit and put an aftermarket UK headunit.

Well you could live with the .1 Mhz discrepancy.. Or your best bet would probaby to get a dash kit and get an aftermarket radio.

Unfortunately the signal doesn't bleed over enough like in the states. A couple of the stations there's nothing but static even .1 mhz away. Guess I'll look into dash kits.
