I received this reply today from Xanavi:

Thank you for choosing Xanavi products.

Your using Navigation is designed only for Japanese market, not operative in Australia.

Therefore, we're afraid that we don't have any user manual in English or amap of Australia.

This unit is not possible to be converted to English.

1.Are you able to supply me with the specifications of this unit?

→ We're sorry we do not supply any specifications to our customers.

2.Do you have a manual for it in English?

→ No, we don't.

3.Can the unit be converted to English or is an English EEPROM available?

→ No, the unit can not be converted to English. There is no English EEPROM available for this unit.

4.Are you able to supply me with a new EEPROM?

→ No, there is no EEPROM available.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

I'm hoping that I can reprogram the EEPROM and convert all the buttons to English text. Anyone know anyone that can help me with that?

i could have anything japanese translated, just send me the text or photos. How will you go about converting the gps system ?

Will do - thanks. I've also got a friend who can translate, but it would be good to get it up here for everyone else.

It seems the GPS possibly can't be converted. I haven't played around too much with GPS / Navigation systems, but i think each navigation system is proprietary and given the Xanavi don't make maps for Australia, it will likely be impossible to convert. Perhaps the best bet would be to connect anoth GPS / Navigation system (TomTom, Navman etc) to the input of the screen...

Any other thoughts???

update, have bought a NTSC converter,

http://www.threedoubleyou.com/cdm660.htm

connected it after the 12v digital box, then into the VTR2 plug and have got an acceptable picture, actually quite a good picture, just need to hardwire everything in, with sound going straight from the STB into my LINE IN on my head unit. Had some trouble keeping the widescreen ratio, but eventually found the correct touchscreen button to change between ratios.

That is AWESOME. Nice work.

Have you got pics of the placement of your STB and Converter? Have you rewired the IR receiver for the STB to the console?

Have you got a seperate aftermarket head unit as well?

Got the IR sorted, just desoldered and extended the one on the STB, prob hide it inside a vent on the dash. Just going to drop them in the rear left 1/4 panel, prob just have them loose, wrapped in foam, they fit quite snug, but have to allow enough ventilation. Havnt been able to find a signal wire to turn the boxes on only when VTR2 is selected, so prob have them wired with ACC.

I've bought a new Head Unit DVD/Cd Player. I still have the original Pioneer Jap gear in there. The new head unit has a built in NTSC/PAL selector for output. I was wondering whether this would work if I hooked it up to the existing screen (I assume its an NTSC Screen).

Any ideas?

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
