An aftermarket firmware update solution has recently been made available, so we now have the ability to firmware update one of these units and convert it to English without even removing it from the vehicle. While firmware updates over OBD2 were never an option, Clarion did leave in a provision for firmware updates via an SD card. Converting the original Japanese unitĬlarion manufactured the audio/navigation units for all Leaf X/G and e-NV200 G vehicles. Until a suitable aftermarket replacement unit is available, the only options are converting the original audio/navigation unit or replacing it with a suitable unit from a US or European spec Leaf or e-NV200 of the same type era. We aren’t aware of any units that currently do this for the Leaf X/G or e-NV200 G. For these reasons we don’t recommend fitting an aftermarket head unit to these models unless it has specifically designed for this application meaning that it will correctly communicate with the rest of the car over CAN bus. Removal of the original audio/navigation unit also confuses the instrument cluster into incorrectly displaying some settings that don’t function correctly. This includes control of the clock, indication of climate control settings and electric vehicle usage data and settings (such as charge timers and climate timers). On the higher specification Japanese models like the Leaf X & G or the e-NV200 G, the original audio/navigation unit cannot be easily replaced without losing some significant functionality.
