    Interesting question ...

    My project has been mostly about going JDM for my Prius G's retrofit. I have entertained the idea of transplanting a JDM instrument display into my car.

    JDM

    USDM

    Unfortunately, this is not a matter of changing a preference in the settings. The characters in the vacuum fluorescent display unit are hard wired in.

    Take for example this 2009 display unit ...

    You can see that the language such as "ODO" "TRIP", "READY" are all etched into the sealed display unit.

    In the case of the beloved Gen-III display, if I want the JDM look with "ハイブリッドシステムインジケーター" instead of the boring "HYBRID SYSTEM INDICATOR", I will very likely need to dissect my instrument cluster and replace the display boards. Who can be sure if that will even work correctly?

    Oh the allure of JDM, I'm still not beyond giving it a try ...

    I'm not sure "enlish" is an option. ;)

    I have a 2010 JDM Prius and I would love to have the instrument cluster in English. Wanna trade? :whistle:

    We specialise in IVA solutions in London. We can convert language from Japanese to English on the speedometer and KMH to MPH. Where do you live?
