Yes, when you get a nav coded, it brings it back to full regional specifications. So, for a US-spec car...
  • You will get the accept screen
  • Short distances will be in feet
  • The Emergency function will show up on the main menu
  • The Route Magnet feature will go away
  • The vehicle ID (VIN, model) etc. will be stored in the nav
  • The language selections will include US English
However, you can always do the downgrade/upgrade trick to kick the nav computer back into Euro-mode to reverse the first five changes. (Euro-mode is really a misnomer, becuase the computer really does not revert back to a full Euro state. The nav computer remembers its regional coding and language settings.)
