My ideas are based on speculation from what I've read. I haven't heard of anyone successfully switching their Navs language.
So your unit is currently in Japanese?
Is your Nav touchscreen or does it use a joystick?
Can you do the following and get to the service menu screen?

US Nav disks are named similar to Gen 5 V6 , Gen 3 V2.1, etc..
What are TNS 300, 301,etc ? Is this a different type of disk or is it what the Toyota's, Lexus' use in Europe?
thanks,
My US Gen3 NAV unit thinks it is in Japan and needs a file from a Japanese NAV DVD to reset back to US mode.
The screen is in Japanese and has some English text that reads:
-------------
CAUTION
Error; System unable to access the program.
Incorrect program disk.
Please insert proper disk.

Has anyone seen this before and know of a fix?
I have more details (including the picture) here..
