Swipe main screen from left to right and you will have a settings screen.

Language combo is on the bottom.

Seems most of the e version is better spec'd than the local [except for the wheels perhaps]! Such an awesome project, really enjoying this. I suppose aesthetically, a black local version would have enabled better colour co-ordination for swap overs but as you said, you want a retro look, whereas oth...

that covers a few issues with the Japanese imports, how to overcome some of them, plus reading the comments gives a good insight into the pricing New Zealanders are paying.

"Apparently" there is a 2010 i-miew for $3900: http://www.carsales.com.au/private/deta ... =9&sdmvc=1
