not sure, but I would think if you get a JDM unit the NAV wouldnt work since it would come with Japanese mapping data.

try it, most equipment is from a Japanese model #, just adjusted to fit the countries language. The characters should display on the folders.
I asked Japandirect.com if I could connect the E3308 mdc 3 md changer. They think it is compatible.

The retail price at CarToys was $1899 for the AVN5435 and was $2399 for the AVN5495.
I was also quoted $1700 (with tax) for the kenwood ddx7015 and DV4100.

Will the DDx-8015 have the same graphics as the KVT-915? I think this unit would be killer if it did!

I was thinking about it until I saw a AVIC-N2 on display. I didnt like the screen quality.
You could see a major difference between AVIC-N2 and the kenwood and eclipse models. Not sure if they use the same screen in AVIC-D1.
