Has anyone manage to locate an ISO of the NAV DVD?

I'm interested in activating this voice on my premium model series 1 cpv35.

If you upload sound recordings I can translate what is being said, to help figure out what alerts are available.

It might already be available in the Japanese workshop manual. Is this also available online?

Just confirmed, watched a video of a Toyota Mark II (which happened to have an ETC reader)... and sure enough the same Japanese voice and words... Panasonic ETC reader.

I would like to hear this 'other' Japanese voice that people are hearing in their V35's eg: Low Fuel...

Finally got it to work, turns out you have to sign up, the translation wasn't clear on that. Made another email address for it and signed up. I have the torrent file downloaded if anyone wants it. It's about 8gb, going to start it when I get home. Hopefully it has enough seeders.

I'll go for pic 2 as well. This is good thread.
Had car 6 years, never had sat nav work, and definitely no voices (may be in my head - but not japanese....)

If it's not too much trouble, the torrent/cd would be great.

So finally got the DVD burnt and booted it up. I can confirm now that the all the voice files are on the DVD.

I have been able to get the voice to happen three different ways. Firstly you can spam and error by pressing the ガイド button (translates to guide, appears as voice on english buttons). It says it a little fast for me to catch it but she is asking a question from what i can hear with a kudasai (please) at the end, It's fun to spam this button. the second way is to go into the ETC card settings and try to set up the card. I'm pretty sure she says "ETCカードを挿入してください/ ETC kaado o soonyuu shite kudasai" which translates to "Please insert ETC card". The third way happens completely at random. Because the map is japan only obviously you will not line up with the roads and will appear to the floating around. Every now and then it will attach you to a road and she will attempt to give you directions if you have a destination set.

Another funny little thing I found is that the map shows buddhist temples in the area. Now if you are not familiar with Japanese culture you will be confused by all the swastikas all over the place. No you are not driving through Nazi Germany.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
