Yes, you theoretically could swap out the Mk4 and fit the Japanese version.
But that is only worth doing if the car is in Japan, as the Japanese version of the nav only works in Japan and nowhere else in the world.
Why?
Because Japan uses special Japan-only format map discs, only available in Japan, with Japanese charcaters and Japanses voices.
Not much good for a Euro or USA user in any country other than Japan.
The Japanese nav is a TOTALLY different system, made by Alpine (and not VDO) and does NOT read any VDO map format.
Forget using the Jap nav unless you are in Japan
