Jap Sat Nav..

[dezz]

When i checked out my car at the compliance workshop, i was surprised that my headunit and sat nav TV hadnt been stolen on the way to aus...but it was still there!

i switched it on and it starts up, passes the panasonic main screen and gets to a screen with a few lines of jap writing...

when i took the CD out of the back , it stops at the panasonic main screen.

I was wondering if there are CD's that you can buy in australia just on their own...sat nav CD's...and if i bought 1, would it make the sat nav work here?

if so, where from and rough price?

thanks

I have an alpine nav unit in my car and just downloaded the north american version of software, burnt it, it works.

give it a search and see if you can find something online to d/l

thanks mate, ill give that a go.

another thing i was thinking, is that im pretty sure the screen is NTSC, so buying an aus sat nav CD here would probably be no good, as it'd be in PAL format....

downloading sounds the best option, so hopefully i can find something

EDIT

didnt have any luck on the torrents...could only find north america, and europe

the software isnt screen format dependent. try contacting panasonic firs then give the whereis people a call. the maps are $390 for the blau version that I have ( just bought a new map for mine.)

[dezz]

so are you saying that i can just buy a new CD off whereis and it will work? or do i need something from panasonic as well?

[Chris Rogers]

it will have to be a pansonic based disc. whereis do the mapping side of it. as an example I cannot put a VDO disc in mine -it looks at it then spits it back out.

thanks, ill grab panasonic's phone number off the website or something, and hopefully they can help me out

got an email back from panasonic australia...telling me they dont make the CD's for sat nav etc, and that ill need to contact japan panasonic....

sounds easy enough....its not.

i tried with the link to panasonic japan they gave me, and it is impossible to just get an email to ask someone a question!

yep that was the original plan, and sell it on ebay for whatever someone will pay

but then i thought maybe i can use the sat nav...and just install the rest of my system that i have waiting here....its not looking good for the sat nav though unfortunately

yeh its sucks coz the sat nave was actually working. like it had a digital speedo, odometer and stuff on it. and it was tracking my car.... i was moving along on the map... but it was a japanese map so i was driving over oecans most of the time...

u could always try hooking up an xbox or something to it.

I have a SONY screen, DVD+ Voice activate Sattle lite navigation and i don't even think they work. I was wondering if i can buy a local SONY DVD player with hopefully the rear consult port match so i can JUST watch DVD?

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks.
