japanese audio?

does anyone know if japanese car audio parts would fit in my civic?

i'm going to japan for the summer and i'm making lists of stuff to buy for my car. and i want a cd/md player instead of the boring american cd players...

such as this one?

sure they'll fit...as long as its single din sized.

but all text would be in japanese...so unless you speak/read it well...it would be "shibutsu" (useless) But you could play with it for hours and figure it out i suppose...or get a japanese friend too

aha, i am half japanese...speak fluently.

single din...

so those cd/md players with bigger screens won't fit?

such as this?

btw, that's the actual size...i put a md up to my screen and it fits perfectly.

there's 2 openings for my car...

the top box is where my current cd player sits...

and there's another box right underneath it, which just sits there...

???

But, if you get a japanese CD player, that means all your CD's will be in Japanese... lol j/k's.

And I think that it would fit, but you might have to fabricate your own brackets.

I can speak japanese but I can't really write/read it. Totally off topic.

^because your text will be in japanesse as well as possibly the buttons...

have you ever heard of "crutchfield"... they sell ALL sorts of stereo equipment... and they will even MAIL it to you...

*edit* oh and you will NEVER find the best price on the EXACT model you want window shopping in a foriegn country... your best bet is to find out EXACTLY which headunit you want... then if it'll fit... then where sells it for the cheapest.. preferably with english text.*/edit*
