I have a rule - search web for an hour, then ask the forum for help. Lot's of related info, but nothing specific that I could find.

I just bought a 2008 JDM RHD Freelander 2. I cannot say for sure which model (perhaps XS) See VIN data below.

* 17" wheels
* Manual cloth seats
* Mid Line Car Entertainment (Alpine) with JDM expander for NZ frequencies - AM radio does not work
* JDM Pioneer Carrozzeria AVIC-HRV002 enhanced navigation with elevated display screen - Japanese, no obvious English switch
* No telephone preparation [025EI]
* Parking distance control sensor rear
* Cruise control on steering wheel left
* Mode, volume and forward/back controls on steering wheel right

It seems the Alpine radio head unit does enough to not mess with it, although it would be nice to get BBC 910 AM if I can figure out how to get AM to work.

Key Question: Has anyone replaced their AVIC-HRV002 with something modern. Most desirable would be Android Auto so I look at the map on the screen, not my phone?

Subsidiary question: There is nothing wrong with the AVIC-HRV002 screen. Is it something I can plug or splice into a new unit?

I know I can hack:

* Bluetooth adapter (I have one) but the cigarette lighters don't have power, and I would prefer a proper upgrade to a hack. I'll figure out the lighters next. Probably a fuse. Neither one works.
* I have not tried the AUX yet but it is there
* I can always just stick on adhesive magnet to the AVIC-HRV002 display and put my phone on it

but I prefer to not hack, best to replace the AVIC-HRV002 with a new unit if anyone has done this.
