    I think you're going to be out of luck with the US stock radio. Your best bet is to swap in the equivalent UK Prius stereo or go aftermarket.

    Hi there, you can't really change the receive programming info on the radio NOT very easy. You would be better off looking for a Euro version of the radio, or go after market!!

    Good Luck de Pat KK6PD

    Here is your answer to why only odd bands are available in US.

    FM broadcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    "In most of the Americas and the Caribbean, only odd multiples are used"

    U needed even bands for FM Transmitter? Or pirate radio station? :)
