Ok, heres what we know.

It probably is not in the registry.

A new rom doesn't work, although some roms will allow it to scan and lock onto a station as opposed to the stock which does not. Meaning that maybe there is a possibility to unlock somethings in the kitchen.

A diamond rom does not work. So the hardware could still be the same, but something pre-rom is causing the problem.

Most people seem to think it is SPL related. I don't know anything about the SPL and I have no idea where to start besides google, so I will be trying that soon.

It probably is not hardware related, why would they change production in order for the FM chip to be disabled? Most people say this would be way too expensive.

Someone also mentioned Kernel, this may be the SPL, like I said, I am going to try and research this a little before long and see what I come up with.

If anyone has anything to add please feel free to fill me in. I wanna know if No2Chem is still around, he seemed to be on to something at some point in another thread I saw in the upgrades section. Maybe he is still working on it! He has always been a big help around here!
