Will it work in the car, yes. But... it will have difficulty picking up stations. America uses odd tuning values(92.3) and Europe uses even values (92.4). Some radios can be changed but it is sometimes a pain to get the info on how to do it.

I was in Europe for 3 years and never had a problem with reception with my US model decks.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
