Not so sure about the radio stations, but the nav won't work in the UK.
Japanese CIC units have a different system to most of the rest of the world. ie; if you imported a car from the US then all you'd need to do is load Europe maps, but for some strange reason that's not the case for Japanese ones.
What you have to do is "borrow" the HDD from a UK car and then copy the full hard drive image over to the Japanese one, this will then work properly, or at least should. I originally bought a Japanese CIC unit for my E89 retrofit and had a very quick learning curve as I researched this very subject. In the end I didn't do it and managed to return the headunit and replace it with a UK one.
To be honest it would be a hell of a lot easier to just buy a UK headunit and swap it over.
