HONDA INTERNAVI CAR NAVIGATION SYSTEM
I am in New Zealand. I have bought a 2007 Honda Crossroad imported from Japan. The car has an imporessive Honda Internavi Car Navigation System which intergrates Japanese GPS, mobile phone, reversing camera, audio, TV, DVD, CD etc on a touch screen and steering wheel control BUT all graphics and buttons are in Japanese script. Unfortunately the car didn't come with any instruction manuals. I want to know anything anyone else might know about the entire system, in English language please.
The audio system seems to rip CDS to a HDD.
The radio still receives a Japanese station
The TV picks up some local channels but only audio
The GPS still reads Japanese cities but is active, as if we are driving in Japan!
Plesae contact me if you might be able to help with providing English language instructions manuals, or information about how software might be updated to New Zealand GPS and English instructions.
Cheers experts!
In anticipation :)

Im in Pakistan with my Honda Insight 2011, Japanese import. No idea what the buttons say. It would be amazing if a Japanese person translates the buttons atleast.

Hello,
I have the same situation. I have Honda Fit 2010 Internavi, just in japanese.. I would like to updated to English or Spanish.. Please if someone can help I will be very greatfull.!!...
Hello Yarennis
Did you manage to find any options with the internavi of your Honda fit 2010? I have the same issue and I need info asap also with this. It can be English or Spanish
Hi Peter, since there's no english language support in honda navi systems, my suggestion is to scrap the head unit and buy an aftermarket one. Kenwood or JVC 2-din units are compatible with Honda systems. If you have steering control, install SWI interface module (google: pac swi). If you have reverse camera, check that the player have CCD input. If the aftermarket unit have built-in GPS, make sure you load the map for your country. You can get a decent one for about USD400 (c/w CD / DVD / MP3 player and all those new stuffs).
Moshahriz, is there a guide available that outlines the process to carry out the change you have outlined.

Hi,
I am also facing same issue with my accord 2005 CL-7. However, I sucessed to configure my mobile via bluetooth and its working fine. It was totally hit and trial and if I have to configure again can not becuase all is in japanees. Such a beautiful car with very bad utilization of its accessoreres. I have tried to my local Honda dealers and they said, they can not do anything to change this.

Well gentlemen, here is a link I just found may be helpful to pair your own phone with the vehicle hands free calling : http://automobiles.honda.com/handsfreelink/?ModelName=Accord%20Coupe%20w/Navigation&ModelYear=2008
I'll just add my voice to everyone else. I have a Honda Stream and can't find a suitable work around to the internavi system. I believe Honda Internavi could do a software update to include the english language as an option. Not sure if anyone in this forum is able to contact someone in R&D at Honda Internavi. Any feedback to any of the attempts made would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Rick. Was this ever solved? I have a Honda Stream 2006 and have looked everywhere for an Engluish upgrade.
Can I get your contact details please.. I have Honda Accord 2006 with internavi premium and want to get it translated.. I'm situated in north shore.

How to change from japanese to English???
Use google translator to understand the Japanese interface. Delete the previous paired phone first because the internavi unit paired maximum number of phones and cannot connect to anymore phone. Then can do as someone shown on youtube .
