Replacing CD/NAV unit in Murano 2009 (Z51)

[Andrew B]

Hi

As the title suggests, I'm looking to replace the CD/Nav unit in my 2009 Murano. I'm in New Zealand, and this vehicle (which I purchased a year ago & love) is a Japanese import. The language on the entertainment unit is in Japanese (although portions of the dash face are in English, which I find strange in itself!), and I want to change the screen display language to English. Don't want to use an after market replacement as the AC controls run through the existing one, and I would be flying blind if this wasn't coming up on the screen to show me what's happening. A local parts company has a factory replacement unit, which they say is in English, but in the discussion the parts company rep mentioned about the control unit for language being located elsewhere (as in outside of the CD/Nav unit) and swapping out the unit itself may not fix this. Does anyone have any info if this is the case, or general info on swapping the CD/Nav unit out?

 

Thanks.
