Jap import stereo - conversion?

    It's a lovely 8" Alpine infotainment system but unfortunately it's mostly in Japanese!

    Can't change the time on it and the sat nav is set to Japan. The garage put a band expander into the radio so I could get more stations but unfortunately they're only Irish ones. Can't pick up BBC :(

    I can manage the bluetooth, CD and stations (even though they're only numbered and not named) but was wondering if the unit can be converted to English? Is there anyone providing this service or do I have to stick with Google translate? It would be great to have the sat nav set to Ireland but I'm guessing this isn't an option? :confused:

    It seems to be a Japan only model so unlikely you’ll be able to change language.

    They already put a band expander into it. I can get BBC through Bluetooth so not too bothered now. My main issue is the language!
