I've got a full Subaru service history I'd like to translate from a fresh import...has anyone done similar?

There are services available but it's expensive, a much cheaper option is downloading the google translate app onto your phone. You can get it to either translate a picture, use the camera for live translation, or the mic to translate stuff it hears. It's not going to be perfect but it's enough to get the gist of what the doc is saying smile

I've used it lots especially on my Crown and the mic options was useful as I found out my car would wish my Merry Christmas and Happy New Year biggrin

Thanks for that, I'm such a phone Luddite, I should have thought of that!

I did find someone via a search; 12 per character redface

You need to share a clip of your very polite car biggrin

haha I should try and remember to video it, everyday when I turn it on the very nice Japanese lady tells me the date and time before reminding me that I've not got an ETC card for the road tolls in Japan.

Ahhh, I stripped all that crap out of the car already, my Japanese lady was very shouty...managed to raise a CEL when I only removed half the pedal mis-step thing too...anxious 10 minutes until I figure that out and reset the codes biggrin
