My New Zed

acer54 · 07-11-2017, 02:53 AM

Recently acquired this Zed, Japanese import, me being the first UK owner, only niggle is the Sat Nav mapping is Japan and was hoping to convert to Europe but it would appear that it's virtually impossible due to the Japanese systems hardware being different - will have to revert back to my trusty TomTom.

I particularly like the interior color too. Nice to see something other than the very common black interior!

Thanks, the colour combination is what drove to view it and eventually buy it.

Welcome. Pretty cool tidbit about it being a Japanese import...even if the sat nav doesn't work right. I know older Honda guys have that issue when they buy old JDM radios for their cars. Only gets Japanese signal and can't listen to it here.

The Zed's radio is a world radio and as such you can select Europe in the settings then the correct FM band is available.
