JDM sat nav and radio conversion to english

Postby B4 Dave » Sun May 20, 2012 8:03 am

Hi Guys,

Due to new baby I went to look at Ryans personaly imported JDM 06 wagon GT B spec with the 2.0l under the bonnet.

Honestly the car is imaculate and drives well but both my partner and I are very concerned about the car being in Japanese. I am guessing there is nothing to be done about the dash but the touch screen with the sat nav is all in Japanese and the radio does not have Australian bands on it, ie FM goes up to about 87Mhz only. Current owner Ryan speaks fluent japanese, so having a display in japanese is no issue for him.

How can I convert the touch screen/sat nav to English? Ryan mentioned something about downloading a DVD.

Is there a conversion for the Radio or do I just have an aftermarket one installed?

Thanks Guys

ps I feel like a traitor even thinking about replacing my B4 :cry:

Jaycar do a frequency converter, so that it adds the extra 25 Hz for you to tune to australian spec radio. The radio will still think it's only going up to 87mHz, but you'll get reception.
