All is possible but will take some work. Search the forum as there are numerous threads discussing subject.

Everything went okay I don't know why but after the upgrade I now have my rear cam guide-lines back after losing them when converting from Japanese to English on my stereo

Could be just a coincidence but i'm not complaining
I too am in NZ, wondering how you managed to access this? i cannot register on the site as it does not accept NZ zip code?

Better to send your HDD to HJB who is also on TradeMe as stereos peak and have him download translated. Can do maps as well which work great.

Wouldn't be worth it for those maps as they are $350 each with no updates available, add conversion cost onto that..unless of course you didn't pay for them?

Maps bought from another model and converted to work. We shared the cost so it worked out very reasonable.

:roll eyes: Of course it works out reasonable if you share the cost, but you do realise its still considered piracy if you 'share' the cost right?

The MMCS already contains legal maps so it is simply a case of converting them to work for your region. Is this not the same as providing a translation conversion from Japenese to English? Has anyone obtained permission from Misubishi to alter thier software?

You're an idiot if you truly believe that - The JDM MMCS comes with Japanese maps created by a different map company.

The maps you are using are converted from a different make and model vehicle altogether - Theres a huge difference between altering software that is available against buying maps, converting them and giving them away or even selling them for profit
