Default Subwoofer only works on CD/Disk, not on FM radio?

I've got a 2007 GS350 in NZ, a Japanese import.
Subwoofer sounds great on CD's and the internal disk, but doesn't seem to work at all on FM radio.
Is this normal or could this be because it has a band expander for the FM? (Adds 10hz so 81fm becomes 91fm for NZ frequency)

I've tried searching but all I can come up with is why subwoofer doesn't work at all etc.

Have you had any luck fixing this issue?
what band expander did you use?

Hey there,

In the end with the radio I just had to turn the bass up to max.
Band ex pander was just some random one I had lying around.

However I bought one of these

And it works well for bluetooth audio, WAY better than some FM transmitter. Microphone sucks though for phone calls, but way cheaper than alternatives
