It's NTSC, so it would just be a matter of getting rid of the region code and learning japanese.

Has anyone tried a region free DVD in a japanese dvd player yet?

Sully around what cost I looking at with that change. I know persons have done it already and I was wondering if it was as easy as the radio conversion..The owner says that he likes the way the original look is and wants to keep it if possible..

well if thats the cost then waht do you haev to lose

i prefer not to use the oem or modify them as i have had problems in the past with them
i have also seen quite a few units that have ben modified and a month or so after owners complained of different problems

so there is a risk that noone will tell you about also there is no warranty on the work being done and if the unit develops other problems the tech doing the job is not responsible
and not obliged to fix the unit either

What I was refering to doesn't involve modification. It's all theory. I don't know if anyone tried it.

Japan uses NTSC (29.97 fps), and so does North America. Most DVDs will have a region code attached to it. If you were to get a region free DVD that should be able to play in the DVD player. At least that's the thought that I have.

Basically, get a priate dvd, stick it in, and see if it plays. If it doesn't then you'll have to go the modification route. But as sr suggests, it's a helluva lot easier to just buy an aftermarket DVD player. There's probably one for everyone's price range, within reason.

Ok people I've checked this thing out personally and the brand of the player is a XANAVI Multi AV System. It seems a lot of the vehicle's electronics interfaces with this thing. From what I was told he may need to get the tuner to get the T.V and DvD feature working. So if anyone is familar with this product or the brand give me a holler...Thanks all..

Furious Ben,

What is the solution? Did you find a tech who could modify it or did you find the XANAVI Multi Av system?

Sorry man, techs were afraid to tackle that system so car was sold as is..I played around with it a few times and was able to navigate a bit but "can't read Japs"so ...Yuh know the rest..
