The car is a Mazda MPV and it appears to be a factory headunit that's branded Mitsubishi, I say its factory because when the unit comes on it has the Mazda logo on startup.

pgs2050: There is no option in my unit engage an English keyboard.
pgs2050: I am following the advice shared in this post: http://mitsubishiforum.com/forum/everything-else-37/mmcs-data-files-japanese-english-46550/. Another thread that was useful to me is this one http://mitsubishiforum.com/forum/mitsubishi-outlander-10/how-unlock-mmcs-25583/.
The 2007 Japanese Mitsubishi's have at least 4 different head units - a similar process is followed to convert the language. One of the critical steps is unlocking the hard drive (using a software tool XBOXHDM that previously developed for unlocking the original xbox hard drive, so identification of your specific model and finding the unlock code is a starting point. Another critical step is locating the language file for your specific unit.
Fortunately, for me the users in the first thread I mentioned were very helpful in making these available to me. On my unit the model number (j-01) is stated on the face just below a joystick/selection button.
A bit more nagging from my wife (it's her car) and I will get hold of the cable and tools I need to proceed. Incredibly, PB Tech Penrose do not stock this cable!

CB_24:
Been able to make any progress on this?
Know if you can buy another HDD and work on that and then swap them out?
