SiR jap navigation system Question

SmokyMo · 16-09-2009 11:43am #1

so I bought an a 96 jap SiR and it has central console which is nav system, tv, radio, cassette and cd. But its all in Japanese so is there a way to change to English and update it?
I don't want to take it out because it controls the Air con, maybe I can take out the cassette deck and put in the stereo.

Anyways I would like to hear what other people did who have the same car or suggestion on what can I do with it.

thanks

I'm pretty certain there's no way to update it to english.

You can get a band expander to make the stereo get Irish radio stations.

Im affraid draffodx is right, afaik the EK sat nav is not able to change to english, on the up side im sure some american would love a JDM center console

there should be a box under the passenger seat .
i had a playstation plugged into it ,
but was only good for music games and NTSC dvd's would only come out clear on the screen .
you'll need a power inverter,
when i had my siR i new it was useless havin the satnav ,
but after playing around with the box and a ps2, i got the most of it ,

wondering now could a ps3 be plugged into it , that would give you more options.
but as for actually using it for satnav i dont think so.
the box had gathers written on it .

also where the tape deck is a had a pioneer head unit in there
but the screen and headunit could not be on together for some reason.
it used to always blow a fuse,
the headunit was connected to the original speakers and subs and amp
the screen was just connected to the original speakers so if you were playing a game from the ps2
the sound would just come out the speakers and not through the sub and amp

hope this helps buddy
its a decent piece of kit so you may as well get the most from it .

let us know how you get on

yea I have under the seat Gathers broadcast media tuner vs196( what is it for?) and the cd changer in the boot which is connected to the nav,tv,cd thingy , but id doesnt read mp3 so I might just change it to the new one for now.

In future when i get enough money I ll just put a hard drive in the back and computer/screen in the front instead that gps thingy
