Polished solution for Mazda Connect Japanese to English Conversion.

Applicable to 2014 - 2018 Axela, Atenza and CX-5

Includes:

- change of navigation protocol from Japanese to New Zealand Standard - i.e. will accept official New Zealand Maps (available at Mazda);

- will display correctly FM frequencies (e.g. ~26 FM Stations at my place in Auckland)

Have very limited number of full packages: Entertainment Unit + FM NZ Radio.

For those not listening to the FM Radio or decided to go with FM Band Expander - solution to include conversion of the Entertainment Unit only.

Hey Ruki.

How did you go about making this change? We've got ourselves a vehicle and we wanted to make similar conversions.

Is this a DIY thing or was there a shop you went to?

Thanks
