Hey Dzo, 

 

What if I accidentally deleted the LANGDATA file  :?  for the MRZ99? Can the zip that you gave me still work?

Yes, if you just deleted  PF090JPJPN.LNG the zip will fix it. If you deleted more than that you will need a backup or you can copy the files from the other tree (/USER/PRG0 or /USER/PRG1 depending on the presence of  /USER/PRG.FLG)

Hi Dzo

I have installed your language installer, now it is working perfectly and easy to operate & navigate my Avic Drz99.

 

Btw i have one more query that is how can change or install local GPRS map in my Drz99. Because every now and then Japanese version Map activate automatically and shows some directions. Though i am driving this SUV at Bangladesh not in Japan.

 

Will be appreciate your further help to mitigate or resolve this issue.

 

Thanks in advance and very grateful for previous help.

 

Regards

Karim

There must be a setting in maps that's giving you directions, try disabling all the map options in the settings menu.

While it may be possible to install non JP maps, I'm not sure how easy it would be and they aren't available for my region (NZ). 

The Z110BT/F30BT use the same platform but there may be a hardware check somewhere in the boot sequence that means installing firmware from these models would brick your device.

I wouldn't do it without being able to boot from other media or JTAG access.

Hi dzo

 

Thanks for the great job you've done.

I have a Japanese mrz99 and I've tried all versions of your code. The language has changed to English, but not correctly. I mean the words are not in places they has to be.

The link is my LNG file and I appreciate it if you could take a look.

There were are few extra strings in your LNG file.

Here's a quick translation that might work. 

 

test.zip

 

Can you post the version numbers for your mrz99 firmware so others will know if they need this.

 

Do the images work ok?

Posted Feb 18, 2017 · 11:52 UTC#84

Thanks very much dzo. The test.zip works well. Images are also working.

I couldn't find the firmware but the model is 2010.

Thanks again for your help

Hi good day everyone,

I am unable to paste the new PF090JPJPN.LNG into LANGDATA folder where the old one was. The paste option has been greyed out. Can anyone assist?

Thanks!

The firware version info is in:

 

 /PRG0/PF090APL.HTM

or

 /PRG1/PF090APL.HTM

 

This is mine:

You need to delete the old file then copy and paste.

If you have a mrz99 you can just use the installer though (after doing a backup with the file manager).

Hi, everyone. I need some help with repairing the mrz-99. Can anyone make an images of both of boot and program area?

Posted Feb 25, 2017 · 12:04 UTC#89

I am unable to enter testmode. I have an avic-mrz099w. I put the testmode.key file on an sd card and the unit started on the screen it says

 

CAUTION!

 

TEST MODE FAILED STARTING

 

[Turn Off ACC]

 

I've attached a photo of the screen.

 

The unit is on my bench and I only have the power cables connected. I don't know what the other connectors are for. I have red & yellow connected to 12v and black to -ve.

 

Can anyone help me with what I have to do.

 

Thanks

 

Robyn

Here is a generic testmode key, it should work on all models. 

 

generic_testmode.zip

 

The 099 is quite different to the 99 though. It's from 2013 and the fact that the mrz99 testmode key doesn't work means it's probably a different platform version so the translations are unlikely to work. 

 

Before you do anything make sure you make a backup. 

 

If you post a zip of the LANGDATA and MENU folders here I can take a look and see how easy it would be to translate.

Thanks. Will try this today and get back to you.

Posted Feb 26, 2017 · 05:29 UTC#92

That TESTMODE.KEY didn't work either. Same problem.

OK, it must be a completely different platform, the only thing I can suggest is that you try to make a testmode key using this:

 

https://github.com/bassrock/AVIC-NEX/tree/master/TestKeys

 

This is the newer format for testmode keys.

 

You can also experiment to see if there is a key combination to get you into testmode.

 

I took a look as the user manual for mrz099 and the UI is completely different to the mrz99 so it's very unlikely that anything here will be of use to you.

dear dzo,

Am new to this forum and have gone through the thread.. if i got to this point is because i got a similar challenge. Only difference is that the device i got is a

AVIC-mrz0047 on a Nissan tiida 2009 model. 

Is there a way to have the language to change from Japanese to English. Am not sure but i think the mrz0047 is on a different platform from the mrz99 and mrz09 (i encourage clarification on that).

Could you kindly look into it, Any help is highly appreciated.

I'm fairly sure that mrz0047 is pioneer's generic name for the platform that mrz99 is based on. Yours is customised for nissan. So it should be possible to translate your unit. It's older than mrz99 so don't do anything yet. Can you try the generic testmode key I posted last week and make a backup of USER then post the contents of LANGDATA and MENU here

Dear DZO, Thank you very much indeed for this great work. Many have already benefited from your work. I have MRZ05 2012 model. I first replaced PF090JPJPN.LNG file from prg0 and prg1 folders but the language did not change. then I replaced PF110JPJPN.LNG file from prg0 and prg1 folders but nothing changed. In the last I used your auto updater but only the back ground changed. I request your good self to help in this regard.

 

Thank you very much and very best regards.

Dear dzo,

   I am sorry to bother you again. Further to my request # 96, I think, may be my mrz05 does not use PF110jpjpn.lng or ph090jpjpn.lng. It may be using PF110jpeng.Lng or ph090jpeng.Lng files. What is your opinion? Waiting for your guidance and help.

 

 

Thank you very much and very best regards.

Dear Javed

Click on your Nav button (the one in Japanese on the left) then press the settings button on the right and see on your left part of the screen the choices for languages. Chose JAPANESE not English as what has  changed is the content of the Japanese file. Therefore your unit will read what WAS Japanese and now IS in English. Restart of the unit will be necessary.

Dear Fanourio, thank you very much for your guidance. I have successfully done it.

Hey dzo, i have managed to back up the user folder from the mrz0047. The generic testmode key worked like a charm. As per your instructions i have zipped the LANGDATA and MENU folders from PRG0 and PRG1. Here are the zip files. Kindly see what you can do with these. Any effort i truly appreciate.

PRG0.zip

PRG1.zip
