HI! on mrz02, files from mrz99 fit without problems. Use DZO files.

I've translated the Japanese language strings for the MRZ99 to English. 

I figured out the format of the LNG file, dumped the Japanese, translated all the strings using google translate, then rebuilt the file.

Some of the English is not perfect but it makes the system much more usable. 

 

I've tested it with APP firmware version 3.070200 (installed with platform version 3.000600), other versions may not work.

If the old language file is 93627 bytes long then this will almost certainly work.

 

To install this, unzip the attachment mrz99english.zip and put the PF090JPJPN.LNG file on an sd card. (130905 bytes, md5sum is cb3f9cb76330704cc171e2b0acb9f6ad)

Get into testmode by holding the NAVI button (left button with Japanese writing on it) and pressing right..left..right..left..right..left and then release NAVI.

 

Go to the last entry on the first page (File Maintenance in Japanese) and press MENU (right button with Japanese writing on it) 

This opens the file manager which is in English and fairly obvious.

 

Make a backup of /USER as described elsewhere on avic411.com

 

Look in /USER to see if there is a file named  PRG.FLG

if there is, then the system uses /USER/PRG1, otherwise it uses /USER/PRG0

 

You can check the file versions by looking at  /USER/PRGx/PF090APL.HTM (where x is 0 or 1 depending on PRG.FLG)

 

go to  /USER/PRGx/APL/LANGDATA/

 

delete  PF090JPJPN.LNG

go to /SD, copy the new PF090JPJPN.LNG and paste it into LANGDATA where the old one was.

 

Switch off the power and when it restarts, it should be in English....

 

This worked for me but obviously is not 100% safe, be very careful in the file manager.

 

Update: There's now an installer that also changes the background and most of the important images with japanese text.

Hello

 

I did the same on my MRZ09 and it looks way better. I have a similar issue with maps for Europe. Anyone has them available?

Hi, deas anybody have the dumpromx.exe ? As I have an avic rz501 and aperantly without this software I can't make the translation to English.

Also if somebody has the files already prepared for this model I would highly appreciate the effort as chances are I'm going to brick this one

HI ,just joined  and very impressed with the quality of questions and answers . Well I'm about to lower the quality .

Just purchased a japanese import car which has a Carrozzeria AVIC-HRZ099 head unit . I've tried to understand the protocol , as it is all in japanese ,using Google translate on my smart phone but cannot see how to access the HDD.Any help their will be very much appreciated.

Also ,I've downloaded the manuals for this and managed to translate some of the pdf files using Google translate again ,but the main files are greater than 10Mb  and google doesn't want to know .tried to split the files (unsuccesful) ,again any suggestion or help will be appreciated .

Hope I've posted this in the correct subject , Cheers

Hi,

I have MRZ09 and it is stuck on startup screen showing Pioneer etc. I can enter in Test Mode but can not backup or delete User directory. When trying it it just shows wait, I have waited around 15 minutes but nothing happens.

Also it is very slow when I go to User directory, that takes around 1 min.

Is there way to hard reset it?

Would be very pleased any hints what can be done because box is now unusable. I have read all messages in this thread but none of those has helped.

It started first by not showing parking camera and worsened then by stucking on start screen.

Thanks
