Thanks for the info - really appreciate it mate.

Why oh why do the japs need to be so particular with their tech lol. Would save me a lot of hassle if they used the same system as the US as you mentioned. To avoid butchering something somewhere along the process, i think you may be right - buying a UK headunit might be the best solution for me. I had a quick look on eBay/Gumtree and there is UK headunits for as cheap as £80/£100.

Am i right in thinking the data for the maps/radio is coded into the hard drive IN the headunit? Would then a 'plug and play' approach work?! Id hope once i swap them out everything would work accordingly.

Out of interest though - how on earth would one go about copying the HDD of a UK headunit onto the current Jap one?

Cheers
