Had a question for you guys. I read in the owner's manual that the audio system supports UNICODE UTF-8 and UTF-16. I have some MP3 files that have Chinese characters encoded in UNICODE that aren't being read by the audio system. Does anybody have any success with displaying international characters on the display screen? Thanks.

 

really? where do you see the manual says it supports unicode? that would be cool if it can read chinese & japanese!!! i want to know too!!!

 

hmmm i havn't heard that. it would be nice though. in my car everything that's not in english or in numbers is displayed as *'s. so annoying

 

Directly from the userguide (page 199)

Displayable character codes:

01: ASCII, 02: ISO-8859-1, 03: UNICODE (UTF-16 BOM Big
Endian), 04: UNICODE (UTF-16 Non-BOM Big Endian), 05:
UNICODE (UTF-8), 06: UNICODE (Non-UTF-16 BOM Little Endian)

 

I have been trying to get my Chinese song names displayed on the screen since October...no luck so far.

 

i want to know how to get it to work too...
95% of my songs are chinese...
i'm assuming most of you guys here are chinese too?? hehe

 

I'd like my car to show Chinese, Korean, and Japanese...

I am half Chinese and half Korean... but can read/speak the above 3 languages as well...

I've got tons of songs that BAGS to be displayed in those three languages!! Anyone got any luck making this work?

 

Do you mean "BEG to be displayed"? If so, perhaps you need to include English as well in your aforementioned list. j/k Anyway, 5 out of the 6 discs in my cd changer are chinese and the last is Korean. I skimmed through the AV section of the FSM but didn't find anything that would be of help...

 

Whoa... That's sharp...

I guess I need to learn some more English first.... darn...

 

Hey, gotta look out for my fellow G drivers. =) Next time you really want someone to do something for you, say "Please, I beg you" or "I'm begging you". "Please, I bag you" or "I'm bagging you" would sound really strange.

 

LOL! That's funny. I'm bagging you... ROFL! Sounds crazy...

 

It'd be really silly if a Japanese car couldn't display Japanese characters, considering that the hardware is there already.

 

because it's not running the japanese software

 

I don't know about Japan, but here in Korea, song names in Korean do not show. I don't even get the weird symbols, but just get underscores of varying lengths ______. I guess they didn't make any special software mods for the Korean market.

 

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread. I'm really interested to know if the new generation 2009+ stereo system in G37 has Unicode fonts. I have an MP3 track with Unicode IDv2.3 tags. It can be downloaded here (746KB):

Would anybody with a 2009+ stereo be so kind and try playing this track in a G37? This is how the tags look like:


Let me know if you see characters other than spaces, asterisks, and underscores.

Any help on that will be appreciated. I know I can try it if I go to the dealer but I would like to do all homework before turning myself in

Thank you!
