Hi,

I've read another member swapped their radio unit on their Japanese import.

The main reason was that the FM radio frequency in Japan is drastically different to ours and you won't pick up any stations.

I'm planning on buying a 2011 V70. It's had the dials changed to MPH but the system is still in Japanese.

Does anyone know if i change the head unit will it;

1. Allow UK radio (i think this is a given)
2. Change the language to English
3. Allow OEM systems to work as per normal (bluetooth calling, steering wheel controls, climate settings, etc...)

The car is the LUX version with a pop up Sat Nav... I don't really mind if this stays in Japanese. We all use Google now as the built in ones are pretty dire.

If the above does work, would anyone know if this head unit would work?

Thank you!
