English dash and CarPlay: making an import local
Japanese menus, navigation that no longer applies, and a telematics unit with nothing left to connect to.
Most Leafs here came from Japan. That means Japanese menus, navigation that no longer applies, and a telematics unit with nothing left to connect to. We do the jobs that make an import feel like a local car:
- English menu / dash conversion and switching the trip computer to km
- Head-unit replacement with an English unit, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, reversing camera retained
- NZ 8 amp 3-pin charge cables and Type 2 to Type 1 leads
- Full English stickers, warning labels and owner's manual
On 2011 to 2024 cars the instrument cluster conversion can be done on the spot through our EVs Enhanced partnership. It is the single change most owners notice day to day, because it turns the car's own warnings and trip data into something you can actually read.
Frequently asked
Can you convert a Japanese Leaf dash to English?

What else does an import need?
An NZ 8 amp 3-pin charge cable or Type 2 to Type 1 lead, and full English stickers, warning labels and owner's manual.
