Check it carefully.
You must select OCE, then switch off radio, and switch off ignition for the setting to be properly saved.
I've changed many BM53 radios from Japan to Oceania, and they all worked, and AM is always 9kHz steps.

Well you could well be right. When I was looking in to it I found that my car should have option S825A radio Oceania, part number 65126988276 but earlier this year it was replaced under warranty with what I think to be the Japanese version, L807A part number 65126976962. However when you do a search on this new part number one search on the ETK says it is for Oceania

and the other says it is for Japan

So therefore it could be wrong, but the service section of the radio says it is tunes to Oce, but it counts in multiples of 10MhZ.
