Hi guys, can anyone help please?

I've just picked up my new car, which has come with a Pioneer Carozzeria AVIC 500 voice activated Sat Nav system in it. Anyone know where I can get the manuals / CDs for this? I can't find it on the panasonic site and google only seems to bring up either japanese sites (sorry I don't speak japanese) or other people asking the same question.

Thanks

Simon

OK, just so that if someone else looks into this in the future, this is what I've found out.

The Pioneer Carrozzeria AVIC-500 is a japanese only satnav system. It cannot be used in the uk as it is voice activated in JAPANESE! There are no manuals in any other language.

Oh well, it came free with the car so I'll just rip it out.

Thanks anyway

Simon
