Not sure what you mean. Are you trying to pick up local stations on the Japanese head unit?

You might need a bandwidth expander

If he's already picking up local stations with the factory Japanese head unit, then he already has a band expander installed.

I'm guessing he's unable to get an aftermarket head unit right now, but wants to make the most of the factory deck in the meantime. I'm curious about if installing an electronic antenna with the expander will remove the static from the reception.

My advice would be to hold strain and save for a new head unit. Or vibes the classifieds forum for a used one.

ent FM the same everywhere? I'd have thought the country of origin of the radio don't matter.

Different regions use different ranges in the band. Our radios go from 87.5MHz-108MHz, in Japan it's from 70-something to 90MHz I think.

correct

japan uses a lower MHZ frequency than us so therefore without the band expander installed the only radio station you can pick up is 87.7 MHZ...aka...TV6
