They've got 3D maps, a DVD player, 24 hr live emergency operator, traffic congestion beacon and more.

It's called the G Book. I suppose similar to OnStar but with waay more services and features. Perhaps SpeedRacer can enlighten us?

Yap G-book is like a OnStar but better. Like OnStar you need subscribe and you need buy equipment.
G-book offer many things such as booking hotel to mornitering your car.

Other screen is VICS which is real time traffic information system. They are available every major city in Japan.

Other furture is Birds Eye View Navi Screen and 3D area view

Hmm, so far only Nissan satnavs have the BirdView 3D bird's eye view feature on their navigation system. I would like that feature. NavTraffic is available on the 2005 RL but only in some major cities like LA. Perhaps by the time it comes over, the price will be lower?
