I've got the HN3t-W55 and its only in Japanese and locked. Most of them is locked but you can replace with other units which run android/windows and run maps from app's instead. We've left ours in as taking it out caused a fatal error in the ECU and the car wouldn't start. putting it back and started right away. So all depends on your model. Ebay have a few disc's.

Dave Smith Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Thanks Alex waiting for delivery of my Alphard but happy to pick up any tips so you may get fed up of hearing from me. Regards Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterS Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Not at all Dave. Tips, Get it the under seal done. (matter or urgency) Then full Service, Cambelt, Water Pump. Check out the brake lines as they degrade over time and have your mechanic flush the lines to get rid of air as it's shipped without any oil, fluid etc in it.

Dave Smith Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Alex the points you have just mentioned were the first thing my dealer said to me ,he's had the underseal done the milometer changed to MPH,the radio extender fitted ,the timing belt changed along with the water pump and he has done all the paperwork for the registration and mot can't recommend him highly enough Stuart Pearce of Tipton great family business top blokes.

MonsterS Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Very nice. I would also do the following: headlight restorer on the front lights and the front camera (if you have one) Then seal them. Our front lights were spot less and bright then about 3 weeks later started to go yellow really quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try that without success using a disc from my UK Corolla Sat Nav which is also a Fujitsu Ten unit, without success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
