You'd think it has become cheap enough. I can store absurd amounts of high quality music on my iphone. Never mind you can now buy 2 terabyte flash drives.
I don't get expensive touchscreens with nav. We know it won't be better nav than what we get on our phones, so what is the point?

I predict Pioneer will eventually come out with a new mech-less double-din audiophile model with an internal solid state hard drive that is at least 1TB, in addition to USB and Bluetooth, and includes Wi-Fi so that you can download all the files you want straight to it. Not an android-based deck, but their own exclusive OS like they're known for now. Hopefully it will be 4-way network (or more?) ready with all the SQ features from the P99RS with additional adjustments.
Yeah, as for navigation, my 6 year-old near top-of-the-line Garmin still works perfectly and also has voice control. I find that it is not always a good thing to have all of your eggs in one basket.
I'll be willing to bet that if you look here,

you'll see that the head unit sold elsewhere around the world will be pretty close in operation to your Japan-only model. I'm sure you could probably compare pictures and figure everything out. Besides the language set up, the one major difference would be the AM/FM tuner frequencies. Everything else will probably be virtually identical. But if you add another deck as a source like I did, the tuner issue can easily be overcome. (If AM/FM is even a requirement for you.)
If you still can't figure it out, I'd be very willing to test it out and try to interpret Japanese for you.
