The Japanese lady that lives in my dashboard

[Griff]

So curiosity/boredom got the better of me and I finally bothered to use google translate to see what she was saying

カードが挿入されていません
Or ‘no card inserted’

I knew it was something to do with the toll card reader but was hoping there might be a bit more to it than just that

Anyway I can confirm that if you slide an old Nectar card in there it doesn’t shut her up. It does change the message though and since the thing started beeping like mad I didn’t hang around to find out what

Which made me wonder - is there any value in trying to get hold of an old Japanese card? I don’t know how they work OR how you might get one but it’s not as if they’d run out of credit driving around the U.K.

Or does anyone have any bright ideas to get her to pipe down, which don’t require pulling the dashboard apart or understanding auto electrics?

I dream of having a Japanese lady living in my dashboard.

 

[dognero]

Mine says the day and date and wishes me a safe journey.

 

[Blaggard]

I love her

 

[Nevillerover]

I don’t like it when she doesn’t speak to me. She loves me and I love her.

You can turn her off in the settings. I managed to put the volume to zero for her whilst in Japanese but I eventually got English conversion. I also decided to take out the reader which would have definitely shut her up!

Mine says this too, but also sometimes tells me not to drink and drive.

Anyone have a lightly used Japanese lady for sale?

 

[Nick Williams]

She's a great companion. But can I turn her off?

 

[Nipponrider]

My Japanese wife just tells me to slow down

 

[daigravystain]

Although I can not listen to people in two languages now(I'm bilingually ignorant ). Has anyone found an easy fix yet?

 

[WhatsThisFor]

She makes me hungry.

 

[Blaggard]

Turn the cd player up to drown her out

Turn the cd player up to drown her out

That's what annoys me is ,when she speaks the volume is dropped slightly on the music. Hardly noticeable until you notice it.

Surely you mean turn her ON!

On the last E52 I converted to LPG recently the Jap woman had a different voice and gave a much longer bollocking before shutting up compared to the E51 woman.
