Supported Radio AM/FM Tuner Plugin that work in Australia

Can anyone please tell me what car radio module interface tuner eg Hc tuner board AM/FM will work 100% in Australia on the FM and AM Bandwith with Centrafuse running on my car pc
all the tuner module distributed out there seem to accomadate Europe and the USA and poor AUstralia is left behind
It would be great to complete this awsome package with a reccomended Tuner that actually 100% works in Australia
because i have spent a hell of a lot of wasted money time effort on trying all of them and cant seem to find one that is not floored
Can You verify if the Highly recommended HC tuner will do the job pls

Thankyou for your assistance in advance
PS please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong section?

Does the Silabs do AM as well? What model number should I be looking for?

Ah, whoops didn't notice the OP wanted AM too, as the silabs doesn't do AM unfortunately. The silabs can be obtained from Braemac (distributor), but it goes for about AU$70pp.

You can go for this, which uses the silabs chip and is cheaper.

I have used both on two different installs and I actually think the Brando one has slightly better reception.

They said they will get back to me early next week. I can't wait!
