European Tuning conversion on factory installed radio

Wonder if anyone had to deal with this issue...

I want to take my '09 HL to europe with me. Can the factory installed radio be converted to european tuning?

Your biggest concern would be if you have the Nav unit in your trim line of Highlander. The European and American navs use different operating systems and are completely incompatible. Just throwing that out there.

Hello

I have two 2009 Highlanders in Czech republic with NAV unit. You just need to convert standard toyota navigation DVD (fe Land Cruise) to american DVD.

Radio shouldn't be an issue. We picked up our US spec Volvo in Sweden and the radio (AM and FM) worked fine in both Europe and here in the US.
