A) Air Conditioner
B) Menu
C) Audio

I take it that you're Chinese or is able to read the Kanji characters right

Here's my gf's translation from top to bottom.

1. Air Con
2. Current position
3. Destination setting
4. Menu
5. Information
6. Hard to tell from the blurry character but she thinks it's "something/Cancel"
7. Audio

I think the Japanese nav is so much nicer with the angle view of the map. Hopefully, they'll have it in the states one of these days. Oh yeah...and change the triangular indicator to a little GS .

I believe it's like our MAP/GUIDE button, it's like the "return to map" function, also acting like CANCEL. It should also change the map display type (split screen, 2D, 3D, guidance, etc.)

They have TV tuners built in. But it's inoperatable when the car is in motion. Smart Japanese engineers made bypass devices to make them work while the car is running. ANd those smart Japanese engineers happen to be Toyota engineers. Go figure

I dunno, I don't really like the angled version. While it looks cool at first, I think it would make it very difficult to find where you are going. Sometimes, simple works better.
