Speed Camera Satellite Navigation Conversions For Japanese (American & Australian) Import Vehicles

can custom modify your existing Japanese (or American & Australian) OEM Satellite Navigation system to display Speed Camera UK and European mapping. Displaying on your vehicles existing GPS screen this NEW hardware features Full voice guidance, UK Speed Camera database pre loaded and Postcode search, address search and POI (Points of Interest) and is installed from £349. We can also offer UK Speed camera GPS with Postcode navigation from £549 for many vehicle with existing navigation screens including UK Lexus vehicle such as the SC430, GS300, RX300 . Japanese grey import vehicles converted to UK Satellite Navigation include the Lexus SC430, Lexus Harrier, Toyota Altezza, Lexus Soarer, Mazda RX8, and Nissan 350.
 

Conversion of the existing navigation system is achieved normally achieved by bypassing parts of the original navigation computer system - typically located in the boot, and fitting new navigation hardware hidden out-of-sight in the same location or close-by. Installing UK mapping discs, re-programming hardware or converting the existing in-built GPS parts is not the usual conversion procedure . Installations normally take 6-8 hours. You drop your ca off to us in the morning, and it is ready for collection by the afternoon. Contact us now to book an appointment.

Aftermarket conversion does not change other systems in the vehicle, such as TV Tuners or Radios to English. Usual Hifi operation is maintained and unaffected by the installation, like-wise, the normal on-screen display of vehicle information such as air-conditioning status is still available to the user.

PrestigeCarMedia can supply and install replacement SD Card or DVD disc based GPS navigation hardware for all makes of vehicle including Lexus, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan, Honda, Isuzu and Mitsubishi with equipment from the leading manufactures in the field such as Alpine, Garmin, Panasonic, Clarion and Kenwood and pricing reflecting different hardware features and options available to the user.

Typical installation costs are from £349 including GPS navigation hardware, free  mapping data, and sundry items (such as Video converters and Audio switchers). Although we normally need your vehicle for a day, for the conversion installation, some pre-installation work is need to adapt hardware to the chosen Japanese Import prior to your vehicle arrival.

                        'Installing UK mapping discs only, re-programming hardware or converting the existing GPS parts is not the usual conversion procedure'

Navigation hardware fitted can exceed the specification of the OEM (original equipment manufacture) unit with additional options such as TMC (Traffic message channel)  and voice operation of POI search. Remote control is normally used to control the aftermarket navigation system allowing greater flexibility of use.

TMC offers the user instant access to motoring information and delays in the vicinity of travel. The TMC protocol uses the FM radio network to receive these real-time traffic data casts. This information is then offered to the user as text reports on-screen, screen prompts, or even voice messages as to other routes available thus avoiding any possible delay.

Accuracy of a  navigation unit is maintained  by the engine speed sensor signal if GPS reception is lost within built-up areas or  tunnels. Without these signals the mapping display can become erratic and un-usable. Portable units have no speed sensor facility.

The Gyroscope in a navigation system is the device that senses lateral movement of the vehicle and should be mounted at the lowest point. If the Gyroscope is to high (as in a windscreen mounted portable unit) then suspension (vehicle rotation) errors will occur. These types of error will be more predominant at high speed cornering such as roundabouts and slip roads and the-like, where-by, the vehicle is seen on the navigation screen to be driving off-road or in the wrong direction entirely. Fixed navigation systems as detailed do not suffer from this effects in the way that portable units do.

We do not provide replacement navigation discs or installation quotations to vehicle outside of the UK. We do not supply navigation screens. We fit new , modern navigation computers to your existing screen that exceed to specification of the stock units already fitted.
