Brand new 2007 V70 owner.

I'm military in the UK, and just bought a US specs V70 (literally 24 hours ago). Unfortunately the radio is set for US frequency steps (only odd-numbered decimal MHz steps for FM and 10 KHz steps for AM).

I have a 2004 Saab which has a procedure in the Owner's Manual to switch this from the US system to the European (EVEN AND ODD decimal MHz steps for FM and 9KHz steps for AM).

Searching the web, I seem to have found a procedure for OLDER Volvo car radios in which you press and hold "5" and then turn on the power to the radio (while still holding the "5") and it gets you into a menu that permits this change, but that does not work in my car and is not described in my owner's manual.

Does anybody know the steps to switch this radio from US to European radio frequency steps?

If this is the wrong forum, sorry, but I was directed here first.

Thanks
