HI, i am in the u.k and have just imported a pioneer 8400 from the u.s. I have heard of people having difficulties with the radio over here of imported headunits. Is there anything i can buy or do to correct this problem. Also does anyone know where i can buy the CD-RB10 AUX adaptor, preferrably in the u.k or if not in the u.s

Is this the unit your talking about http:///.com/dll?ViewItem&item=1944634181 If so don’t see why you would have a problem installing it. It’s just a standard installation the only adapter you will need is the wiring harness kit if you don’t want to have to cut into your factory harness.

the CD RB10 is an IP Bus adaptor to input audio thru the ip bus instead of using an FM mod from say a video source.. you should be able to get it from anywhere that sells Poineer... if not, they should be able to order.. try online..

Yes that is the unit, my problem is not installation but i am worried that the reception of the radio would be poor because of the different radio frequencies in the u.k.

Don’t have any experience with the different radio frequencies to answer your question.

I believe in the U.K. FM frequencies go to the "hundreds" place by fives, and use even "tens" as well (eg- you can have a station at 95.25) versus U.S. spacing is only odd "tens" (eg- 95.5 or 95.7). Every now and then you can find a tuner that can be switched to either mode by a certain button combination, but generally you're hosed.
