Need Help FAST Can you undo the Japanese lettering and vocals on imports?

Saw an Outback I really liked today, only issue is due to having a DVD player/trip computer and on the main instruments a lot is in japanese, and it speaks Japanese when i do something wrong. Its more off putting to the Mrs, is there anyway to change the chip or something so the instrument panel is not Japanese writing?

Can just rip the nav out which will stop the talking but you'll be stuck with the japanese in the cluster display. You get used to it pretty quick though. You get a pic of the nav in question by any chance?

No I dont but its the same as the 06 ones I see on google.

 

See where this car has english next to the smaller trip computer in the odometer/fuel area, my one has 2-3 japanese letters instead then 300km etc. Is this normal or am I buying something wrong as mines not in English? Its under the tachometer like this, but mines in RED letters.

It's normal and will always be in Japanese and there's no (easy) way to change that. NZ new cars will have that little screen in English as well as L/km as opposed to km/L in JDM cars. Not much to read anyway
