I bought a car too which was imported from the us and clearly the radio wasn't the selling point. But I do think that GPS is GPS. I mean I can load US maps to my old Garmin unit I bought in the shop around here. That it is not possible the other way round is a bit dissapointing. So I have a good radio (not for good radio reception for the missing even frequencies) but for the features which half of it I cannot use.. gonna stay with my mobile phone navigator, that takes every map!
