Changing the Country on the SAT NAV in car.

[HYBRID VL]

Is there anyway to change my SATNAV in my Skyline to Australia i dont see any options?

Im stuck on Japan.

Is there any update or factoty reset or Firmware update?

Could a Nissan dealer do it for me?

I kinda hate having it not working as it makes it useless.

You'd probably have to replace the unit.
Or just use your phone? Look for an Alibaba Android head unit and Android Auto/CarPlay/mirror your phone?

Except don't do this because all the Chinese Android HUs are shit.

That's not entirely true.... I've owned three Atoto head units and one of them has worked well 😆

yer i have tried everything even Nissan told me to basically get f*kt lol.

Kinda expected this from Nissan Australia though it seems even if i pay the year sub fee for the SAT NAV it still wont work.

just wondering if there is any jail breaking sort of things you could do to install a map in it or mod it.

really don't want 2 change the screen though if its the same screen from other Nissans of the same year maybe i could?

I would suspect that someone involved in the game of importing/complying or unf**kulating these things might have an idea. Perhaps enquire with Iron Chef, Cars From Japan, if they know how (or if possible/impossible) or if they know someone who can do it. It might be a case of having the correct jailbreaking box or a nice workaround toolset (ie rub your stomach while patting your head and humming the Finnish national anthem backwards).

I'm kinda outside my comfort zone here but is there any english Infiniti models that have the same screen? You could at least get english this way even if not the sat nav.

Otherwise you could still consider getting an android one. The one I have in my E90 is actually pretty good. I just use Android Auto on it and if I want to I can display live data from my OBD2 dongle. 

(That said, don't buy a no name one or one with not much memory, I had one before this that was absolutely terrible and thankfully I was able to get a refund)

someone said just plug my Samsung in and it will be sweet.

well i did that and yes its brung up everything from my phone onto my screen including google maps so its a great alternative to buying of trying 2 pull anything out.

I have never used my phone plugged into any of my other cars that had android connection capabilities and now i wish i did lol.

i have a Kenwood double din deck in my wives WRX might see how it goes in that.
