    Don't get me wrong. Time to open study book and learn the language!

    Haha just kidding.

    Maybe get pics if similar one from US then type into online translation site the English words and compare the results in Japanese to the ones on yours MFD...

    What location are you in as this may help us to help you. You are obviously in a country that drives on the left so UK, Australia, and New Zealand are the most likely sources of parts.

    We are in the same boat. :) I suppose the only option is to change to the english one.

    Yes as your car is a Japanese import it is a right hand drive car the same as the UK. I think it is important to point out that if you buy a screen from the UK you need one from a 2006 or later car, and I believe they also are different if the car has satnav or not.
    There are a lot of different functions on many screens all with touch control so that translations would be very difficult to use.
