I live in the UK and a friend has found the Nakamichi CD400 on a website in the US for a good price. Will it work the same in his car over here, or is there a different standard of radio freq or plugs?

Thanks

A US version will not receive UK radio frequencies. You need a UK model.

It'll probably work, but the display may read slightly off. That's what mine did when I was overseas, although I haven't been to the UK.

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