This guy is getting an N1 deck w/o the brain. He thought it would work w/o the brain. Maybe he'll sell you the deck.

The X1R will not be able to tune US FM frequencies, as Europe radio is set up differently. I am unsure whether the navi portion will function at all, it probably has different firmware.

The X1r should work with the NAVI portion and if you have a N2, N1, N3 hide away which houses the tuner it should work. The only thing you will probably have to do is force write your 50 or 60 series discs in the service menu. Maybe not even that.

I'd give it working more than a 80% chance since the tuner isn't in the head, and when you force write a US model it get's the language data from the disc and references ALL major EU languages. Put a US disc in and it only has English US, French, and Spanish.

The boot software has German in there, so it's almost like they used a universal boot for everywhere but asian countrys and the MAIN difference is what is on the MAP discs and the hide away.

The service manuals even reference the Europe manuals.

Also in the hide away is the MICON that controls the IP BUS (XM, IPOD, etc.) so on a EU hide away, there won't be XM support since they don't have XM.

Chao!
