I recently bought an HS250H, and all the menus are all in Japanese. The navigation dosen't work. Any suggestions to change the language to English and GPS to New Zealand?

There are two things you can do:

1. Start the car. Click on "MENU" button - it may say "メニュー "
2. Use the mouse to select the middle icon - it looks like a stack of window panes.
3. Use the mouse to click the button in the upper left, the wide one just left of the corner button.
4. Scroll down using the "up/down" key by the mouse, until you see the word "English". It's at the bottom of the options and it should be currently set to Japanese, which is "日本語". This will change some, but not all, of the car's user interface to English. Some features will not be available.

There is also a guy in Auckland who does a number of JP translations to English. I don't know if he supports the HS250h yet, but it's worth a try. hybrids.co.nz

Thank you for your help, I will definitely try the first method.

No problem. If you get stuck just post a photo here, and I will show you what to click.

this is the greatest car ever, I hope you like yours.

Will do thanks!

The guy at hybrids.co.nz finished an instrument cluster translation for me for the HS250h model.

if you think you might be interested in his newly developed product, I thought there is a chance you can see him to try it. (This would also allow me to have a system test in a live car before I have the assembly shipped back to me...)
