JDM? Is that what the fad is these days??

[quickdodge®]

How about some REAL JDM shiit. I received my factory AM/FM radio the other day and noticed some cool shiit that falls into the "what features of my car are factory JDM" list.

I won't say what it is. Instead, I'll let you guys see if you can figure it out. Test your true JDM knowledge here. Later, QD.

Warm you are getting. Later, QD.

that old radio has presets for a fm radio station ???

[BobbyFresco]

It's an O.G Panasonic radio, straight from jdm land.

[BobbyFresco]

No AM?

[Homer Simpson]

The volume knob is on the right side instead of left???

lol, just a guess because typically, the volume knob is on the left for easier access.

Yes it does. See the three FM "tabs?" Those are it. On these radios, you find your station. To set it in "memory," you set your station, pull the "tab" out and then push it all the way in. When you want to go to that station in "memory," you just push the tab in.

This particular one is NOT a Panasonic model. It is made by National. And it does have AM. Later, QD.

Ooo, good answer (even if it's not what he's looking for).

[quickdodge®]

BAM!!!

The ON/OFF/VOLUME knob is on the right side. Everything for this car was made to cater to the driver being on the right side of the car. The antennae is on the right side roof, the radio (also the FM presets are on the right) is geared towards RHD. Even the hood release latch is on the right/center of the car. Later, QD.

[BobbyFresco]

LOL..such a simple answer.......and I didn't get it. Damn.

[Echonova]

Hmmmm. Radio frequencies are not JDM-land approved. JDM radio operates on different frequencies than American. Japan FM broadcasting band is 76 - 90 MHz wherewas most of the world use 87.5 - 100/104/108 MHz band from what I understand, I could be wrong.

see thats cool **** even to be as old as it is . hell its easy for a digital tape deck/tuner to set a preset .but to have a manual one that old remember a manual preset is tight .

[K20Z1]

i don't like it

[SMC21810]

QD - are you still integrating your satellite radio in it?

[rupertaker]

I'm with Kevin, the frequencies are off for a ''jdm radio''.

All the cars I've had, the headunits operate within 76-90.

cool headunit by the way, it will look nice. Hopefully it still works lol.

[quickdodge®]

QD - are you still integrating your satellite radio in it?

Yes I am.

Rupertaker. Yes it is American spec. But this, as was other aspects of the car was made for the importing of the car to USA. They just changed the frequency ratings to work over here. Since they only produced these cars in Japan, I imagine it was just cheaper to "Americanize" only what was necessary for importing. Thanks for the compliment. Later, QD.

[SMC21810]

Yes I am.



that's pretty awesome. i'd love to see that work in person!

[FasTech]

I've got to get an old Civic or Accord! With yours QD and my buddy Joe's 1980 Accord, I have fell in love with them. I love what your doing with yours.... And I know its going to be an amazing restored Civic when your done.

[Mr Egg Rollllll]

I like it. Reps

[quickdodge®]

Thanks SMC21810 and Fast Tech and Laotian. Later, QD.

True story, I pick up maybe one radio station if I'm lucky with my deck :(

QD - are you still integrating your satellite radio in it? QD i want to see more of this project .... that would be cool as **** ... how are you integrating the satellite radio in this old beast ?? pm me :goodjob:

[quickdodge®]

It's not going to be a real integration. Just going to mount the receiver somewhere out of site and use the remote to control it. It will just be wired through that stock radio and out the stock speaker outlets (with new speakers of course). Later, QD.

[BTLFED]

You know what the funniest part of this thread is? QD explaining how to make the presets work on this old radio LOL! I already knew how it worked! :lmfao:

Damn I'm old. :(
