If any one struggling with japanese language and wants to know whats on the display, the best way is to turn on google lens from your phone select translate and hold the camera to the display. It ll translate and show you evrything in English.
yes you can. you can also mirror you phone to the navi system to watch movies and pull up google maps on the screen if you want. this comment is gonna be long im sorry :( you need three things: 1. digital➡rca adapter cable. (映像入力 接続 アダプター) *this cable is pretty specific so make sure to double check it fits your car before buying. for s180 toyota crown, search 映像入力 接続 アダプタートヨタ 18系 2. rca to 3.5mm jack 3. bluetooth transmitter with 3.5mm jack i reckon no.2 and no.3 can be purchased easily at any auto parts store, but for no.1 you'd probably have to get it shipped from japan. for a how to check this: ruclips.net/video/Zvgh_rZuQXQ/видео.html its in japanese but its pretty self-explanatory. the no.1 cable is shown at 1:10 if you want to mirror your phone screen to the navi's screen 1. you'll still need the digital➡rca adapter cable, 2. wifi or bluetooth to rca hdmi car adapter (usb to rca hdmi adapter is fine too) *3. tv navi kit. テレビキット 18系. (you'll need this to be able to mirror your screen/watch tv while the car is moving though there's a cheaper method, see below.) ^you can cut the parking brake sensor wire that is connected to the navi system and ground it to the system itself to trick the car thinking that it is stationary. but you've got to ground it correctly and be 100% sure the ground wire doesnt move/get removed while driving or you'll risk shorting the entire system. if it gets shorted sayonara navi. i'd really recommend not cheaping out and getting a tv kit of any brand since it's all plug and play and you don't have to mess with cutting/grounding the original wires. check ruclips.net/video/H4xbuaV1qb4/видео.html (usb mirroring) ruclips.net/video/YFeOjHVCCZk/видео.html (parking sensor wire diy) ruclips.net/video/wYQvS0rhm1I/видео.html (wiring diagram for 180 crown if you decide to cheap out and diy) again, all pretty self explanatory. when you start the car, the navi system will automatically mirror your phone's screen. being able to mirror google maps on the screen, while hearing your own music through the speakers for less than a hundred bucks makes it all worth it. good luck! :)
@@Cux33 thanks for the info. As for the no 1. Cable, can't we use the one that's already in the car? The one he unplugs in the video. Also not to be lazy but could you link me to a wifi receivers for the tv mod? Or do you have to use a USB one?
I'm using a Bluetooth FM transmitter and the sound quality compared to putting a CD in for example, is night and day. I just want the most I can get from this amazing vehicle!
@@jackyjack5008 I bought an fm BT transmitter and can only get audio from front speakers. I haven't found an option to make the BT sound come from all rear speakers, another car I have with an after market unit has this option but not the crown unit
Thanks for the really detailed video. Just purchased this car in NZ so was a bit gutted I couldn't use this system, but your videos helped me out heaps.
Hey mate. What model you got? I'm trying to swap out mine too and been told by hyperdrive in Auckland there is a Tesla style unit that replaces everything but cant find anything. Have you had any luck?
@@mactaggart7854 I have a 2006 Majesta s180. I haven't heard anything about what you've mentioned, but that could be a thing. I'm just trying to find something to stream music to the system at good quality, sadly no luck at the moment.
There is no possible way to stream music through bluetooth only works for phone calls. There is a guy in christchurch who has been able to successfully convert everything to english and add a secondary headunit Have added link trademe.nz/motors/car-stereos/other/listing/2184991473
There is an aux cable( the old version) which you can display videos to your screen i guess and definitely music. But you have to take out the screen and blug the cable in it's specific place and take the cable out through glof box, also you can put a bluetooth adapter in the aux cable. I haven't done it yet but the previous owner explained to me every thing.
Hello, the power window button on the driver side doesn’t work in front and back passenger side, only works in driver side. Any idea what’s wrong? Thanks.

Hello. Am having a problem with my 2007 crown center screen. Its only responsive when on maps but on climate control and audio the screen is dead unresponsive
Hi I have a problem with my crown royal saloon 2007. when it is on the navigation screen the touch is responsive but when I go on the other menus(a/c or music) it doesn't respond is it some sort of lock for the screen if so how do I unlock it?
Not sure if you figured it out by now but you just have to roll that window all the way down and all the way back up with that door switch and it resets it
How to change the colors of the button because I just changed my screen and my old the buttons are green and the new one is orange so is there a way to chang the color of the buttons in the scree
There is a height adjustment from memory on the right side of the dash that you can try, otherwise they may need manual adjustment from the engine bay.
Thank you so much for this in service on the touch screen. I am in British Columbia and have a Crown Royal. Can you please do a video as clear as this one, to show how to change the language of the car from Japanese to English. I've seen a few on the web, however they do not show this configuration of the instrument panel, and are such poor quality that I cannot make out which Japanese symbol takes me to the menu to change language. thank you
I am from Iraq. Can you help me? I have a 2006 Toyota Crown Royal and I want to delete the stored songs and download other Arabic songs and I do not know, please
For most Crown pre-2010 changing language isn’t possible. If the言語設定 is not available inside 設定 MENU then you are out of luck changing the language to ENGLISH.
Hey m8 great and informative video. Just bought a 06 athlete 60th anniversary. What a weapon. Changed a few settings using your vid thanks. Does bluetooth only work for calls or for music via phone also? I dont have that button on my roof like yours. I have some flippin ambulance call button wth?
Hellooo i have a 2006 crown royal saloon How to can I music into the ssd ? Can someone share a video ? I have the Japanese language and I want to add music into my ssd. There is a way to change language too ?
Not sure if you've got it sorted out yet, but when you put a CD in the player it will record music to the hdd. I'm sure there's also a REC button displayed too on the CD screen. Then press the mode button on the steering wheel to get to hdd & new songs should be there
Almost identical in terms of layout and most of the features, an Athlete may not have some of the very high end features that the Majesta has, but otherwise they are the same.
J-Spec Imports wow thank you. Do you know if there is a factory options list floating around? Would it be like, if you tick this box then you get all the levels of things below it, or would it be free reign to select anything you want? I'm trying to determine that if a car has a sunroof for example, it would always have heated seats and rear shade and x and y and z.
It gets a bit complicated to go through that, if you're talking the Majestas these had almost all of the options automatically, with in the case of the C Type only really things like sunroof, radar cruise control, parking sensors and leather being an option, otherwise they mostly had the lot. For other models it gets more complicated, but as a general rule not too many factory options were paired in the manner you suggest there.
J-Spec Imports thank you very much. At this stage I'm interested in the 184 athlete 3.5 but it gets difficult working out what I'm looking at haha! In the other video, you said there's problems with the dash, is that the woodgrain strip above the glovebox that goes bad, or something else? I don't want to take up too much of your time as I haven't paid you anything
No worries, shoot me an email to ben@j-spec.com.au if you'd like to discuss in more detail. There are two really common dashboard problems with the Crowns. One is the wood strip across the top, this can delaminate and start to warp, and the other is the leather part as well, this is very prone to getting cracks in quite a number of places including in front of the passenger and around the speedo cluster, this afflicts the majority of Crowns now actually.
Does anyone know how to eject the map dvd from this model of head unit? Experimenting with some North American map dvds but don’t want to put one in until I know I can get it out. From the hidden dvd drive behind crown logo or silver cover panel shown in this video. Anyone?

Good day Ben ,, Do you have any idea how to start remotely a Toyota Crown 2005 ? Is that option in there or is there any fuses need to add ? Many thanks Cheers Matt
The button on the roof is to turn off the interior alarm pressure sensors if you leave the windows down.
Wow that's obscure, I never would have figured that one out, thanks!
so what does this basically mean?
.... It turns off the interior alarm sensor.

for a how to check this: ruclips.net/video/Zvgh_rZuQXQ/видео.html
its in japanese but its pretty self-explanatory.
the no.1 cable is shown at 1:10
if you want to mirror your phone screen to the navi's screen
1. you'll still need the digital➡rca adapter cable,
2. wifi or bluetooth to rca hdmi car adapter (usb to rca hdmi adapter is fine too)
*3. tv navi kit. テレビキット 18系. (you'll need this to be able to mirror your screen/watch tv while the car is moving though there's a cheaper method, see below.)
