I noticed that tuning the FM frequency on my 95 Mustang radio only
works in uneven frequencies, i.e. 99.1,99.3,99.5, etc. Is it possible
to make it tune to even numbers. I live in South Africa and need to
find an even number station to tune my iTrip to play without being
interrupted by radio stations the whole time, thanks.

In the USA, FM frequencies are odd (or uneven), and in Europe/SA, they're
even.
You will have to to either replace the iTrip with a USA version, or replace
the radio with a Eu/SA version.

Replacing the transmitter would probably be the less expensive option (and
much easier to install...).

In the 90's it was common for american car radios to have a 'secret'
button combination to press, to switch to the Euro-style even number
station search. Unfortunately I can't remember any of them in detail,
but some of them had instructions for it in teh owners manual, some were
not documented bu the dealer would know how to do it.
