Hi.
I live in Sweden and have just imported a 2008 CX-9 GT with navi from the US. My problem is that all FM radiostations in US only have odd frequencies, for instance 99,1 99,3 and so on. In europe we have just as many radiostation on the even frequencis like 99,2.

I can't get the radio to find any stations on even numbers. Is it possible to make the CX-9 radio with navi work on even frequencies?

I am guessing you are SOL.
 
I think in US the FM has separation of 0.2Mhz and is centered at old frequency number .1 .3 .5 etc.
You may want to call Mazda corporate support to see if there is any hidden setting they can tell you to tune this. I am not aware of any.

A remedy: Buy a $10 FM transmitter locally to receive FM and transmits it to your CX9.
The local FM transmitter should be able to pick up even frequencies, and "hopefully" could transmit it to old frequency for CX9.
