Toyota Soarer Lexus Sc430

[minted_aye]

I have just purchased a toyota lexus soarer import which is basically the SC430 lexus model, it has the touch screen etc, sat nav etc or lack of it

I was hoping that some sort of firmware upgrade would sort out the language and region settings ie: turn it to UK spec, I have been given horror storys from UK installers that it would be best to start again, which I cannot believe that any manufactuer would make a item whith such a variation to the UK spec cars.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction, I know its probably been asked somewere in the past but I cant see anything on this forum

Hi

welcome to the club.

I've heard that its near impossible to convert the OEM stuff into english.

Hopefully I'll be proved wrong.

Someone will be along shortly !

Yes I believe you need a new nav unit to get navigation to work in this country. Even then I'm not sure if the heating controls etc. turn into English.

You will probably find Denso will not talk directly with the public, certainly on Toyota products.

Looks like you are right, pointed me back to toyota / lexus, but if I was in his neck of the woods he would assist

Colin is always right
