Default Change Freq on Audi Symphony Radio (USA to Europe)

I recently moved from the USA to Europe and brought along my 2002 Audi A4 1.8T. It's equipped with the Audi Symphony Radio and would like to change the frequency from USA frequency to Europeon. Does anyone know how to do this??? Most radios have a secret sequence to change the code. Does any know what I need to do? Thanks in advance!

Default You'll probably need a VAG-COM and readapt one of the channels in your radio.

Not sure which one tho. Its probably easier to get a dealer there to do it.

Default Is there really any difference

except for the fact that in Europe you can change it every .1 instead of the US of .2. For example, we can tune 95.5, 95.7, 95.9, etc. Whereas in Europe, they can tune 95.5, 95.6, 95.7, 95.8 etc.

Just curious, where in Europe did you move to and did you have to convert the car as in miles to kilos etc.

I've searched for ways to do it, but AFAIK, it can't be done.

Default yes, that's the problem...

Most radio stations in Europe use even frequencies (102.0, 103.4, 104.8, 92.2, etc.). And if you have a US radio, it doesn't stop there (instead it stops at 101.9 or 102.1 which means you will not be able to tune well into the station and the reception will be poor.
