I want to convert my AM radio to FM but want to keep the radio stock.

I have heard that you can buy a FM converter that will let your AM radio pick up FM signals.

I have found some on ebay but they all seem to be for japanese car conversion.

Does anyone know what I need to do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

There are companies out there that will take your stock radio and convert it to am/fm. Where are you in Wisconsin?
I'm near Fond Du Lac.

I may have to give them a call and see what kind of price they can give me.

I live in Wausau.

I bought one of these Audiovox converters. They are from the 70's and are what an owner might have added at that time.

You tune your AM radio to something like 1400kHz (I use a preset button) and then tune the converter to bring in your FM stations. When you turn off the converter, you can use the radio for normal AM.

I have a Hidden Stereo under the passenger seat, modern sound equipment at a reasonable cost. I can put the remote in the console, totally out of sight.
