Japanese stereo/satnav in Audi A3 Quattro

[Chris_H]

My son has just bought a 2007 A3 3.2 Quattro which is a Japanese import. The satnav/stereo are all in Japanese and the unit really needs replacing for a UK one. Does anyone know the model number of a suitable alternative? The one in there now is a Clarion model number J8E AE2 A01 which looks like this:

(The image is taken fro a Google search as he has the car with him.)

Behind it is a HDD, CD slot and I think a memory card slot. Any ideas appreciated on how to change this.

Off topic, but why would you import a common German made car, from Japan?
That sounds very expensive to me!

Sure it isn't this one? In Japanese?

No idea. It was imported in 2010 by a previous owner.

Unfortunately not. Totally different.

I'm going to bump this and ask if anyone had any luck with this?

I have this in my new car and only want to change the time on the head unit

Have you tried one of the translate apps ?

Hard to tell from the photo of that, but the UK satnav unit from 2007 is the double-din RNS-E. It's fine, but a bit old-hat now.

Unless you're an originality fetishist, something like this Pioneer is a better choice, https://www.pioneer-car.eu/uk/products/sph-da250da...
