Asian language display in HUD

jlstyle · 03-04-2015, 05:09 PM

Hi all,

Is there any coding available to display Asian language in HUD? Currently it shows as question marks.

Thanks!

r33_RGSport · 03-04-2015, 06:55 PM

jlstyle , which Asian language? There are plenty of them.

jlstyle · 03-04-2015, 06:59 PM

Haha true. I want Korean to appear on my HUD!

Wobbles · 03-04-2015, 08:30 PM

Do the Korean characters appear correctly on the main iDrive screen on the dashboard?

Yes.

Cool! Then, it's simply a coding issue, IMHO. Calling opasha hehehehe.

opasha · 03-04-2015, 10:45 PM

It's not that simple because there are a few different region codes in many different ECU folders. I played around with a few with nameisjae1 for his HU_NBT (iDrive) and KOMBI (instrument cluster) and nothing really "perfect" resulted. It was just an annoying mix of English and Korean. The cluster had Korean symbols while the iDrive had a mix here and there, but the biggest issue was changing region codes; this can and will mess things up for you if not done correctly, and I wasn't about to mess up his car. Sure, it does exist, but how deeply? No one has figured that out yet and I've searched many threads before attempting it with Jae. If new threads have arisen, feel free to show me and we'll go from there. As of right now, there is no easy/successful way to attempt what you guys are looking for.

@jlstyle, is it regarding music name or contacts name in korean?

Music names on HUD is what I'm referring to.
i-drive shows all Korean characters fine, in music and contacts.
But if you sync the music through bluetooth, sometimes characters break. It varies so I can't tell for sure.

I can leave without Korean characters on HUD but this new music skip button doesn't really help when characters break.

@jlstyle, let me play around in my extra time with chinese character, since I into the Korean BBQ, not the music and Kdrama.

R33 you mean you're not into 'wonder girls' ? Haha... Korean food is delicious though, not just bbq. Kimchi jiggae, chap Che... Etc

FYI I'm not Korean!

I don't even know who they are. I guess they are the cute girls singing group.

Kzang · 03-05-2015, 12:46 PM

Korean here too so I would be interested in knowing

nameisjae1 · 03-05-2015, 03:47 PM

opasha and I also tried navigation to turn into Korean language...since I live in Korea with a US spec SAV. No real solution though.
