UK DVD in JDM Navi

[solentzed]

My first post !

I am about to buy a 2004 JDM and it has the Japanese DVD with it.

An obvious thing to do would be to try the UK maps and firmware, I imagine many have tried this, if so what happens ?

 

Ebay has the discs for sale all the time:

wont work, you will have to buy UK unit very expensive

 

get an aftermarket stand alone unit if you need sat nav

Thanks, I guessed that would be the case.

I already have TomTom on a pda so I'll take the navi out and use that.

 

Where is the GPS receiver/antenna mounted in the roadster ?

 

Any threads on this forum showing how to get the trim off around the radio and navi, hidden fixings and so on ?

to the forum. Your name suggests you may live in Lee on the Solent - I used to live in Fareham many years ago.

Thanks, I'm near Petersfield, but spend a lot of time on the M27 !

Thanks, so does the radio/cd unit have an unused auxilliary input ?

Is there a seperate power amp driving the speakers ?

 

My car (pick up next week) has the Bose premium sound with subwoofer and I have to decide to either remove the head unit and put a new one in or just wire in an external mp3 player (I have one based on: http://www.pjrc.com/mp3/ that will fit where the satnav lives)

 

A complete system wiring diagram for all the audio components would be useful.

the Bose has a separate amp iirc?
