Japan - Country Unique Emira Specs / Differences (エミーラ日本仕様)

[virtualmacho]

Just to differentiate between "defects" and "design". Is this all? Any more? I'll update this table as things get fixed...
「不具合」ではなく「日本国内販売車両の仕様」をまとめておきます。他にありますか？適宜更新していきます。

Area / 領域​	Difference / 差異箇所​	Status / 状況​	Comments / 備考​
Electronics	Tracker option not available	closed (by design)	Country unique specification 日本はサービス対象外
Electronics	Homelink option not avvailable	closed (by design)	Country unique specification 日本はサービス対象外
Electronics	SOS button does not exist	closed (by design)	Country unique specification 日本はサービス対象外
Electronics	Native SatNav not working	closed (by design?)	Dealer says licensing issue, but who cares if CarPlay or Android Auto is working. ライセンスの問題という説明を受けたが実際は分からない。スマホがあるので実害なし。
Electronics	Bluetooth Connection for Apple CarPlay not working	open (pending response from UK)	workaround: use USB cable とりあえず有線で。
Electronics	Bluetooth Connection for Android Auto not working	open (pending response from UK)	workaround: use USB cable とりあえず有線で。

Two apple carplay exist.

I drove 1600km last week, so I had it checked and updated to the latest firmware.
Since then, I have been trying Yahoo Maps and so far it has not frozen after about an hour of continuous use.

You mean, Bluetooth connection for CarPlay exists and works?
お？ブルートゥース接続ができるようになったということですか？

No, it does not work wirelessly yet.
There used to be a hang-up when using anything other than Apple Maps.

I checked with the mechanic at the dealership, and he said that there are sensors and computers in the emira that are not yet in use, and that these functions may become available with a firmware update.

Ah, ok. You mean the unstable USB connection "defect" is fixed now. Good news !
有線しか使えないのにそれが不安定、という最悪の状況は脱したということですね！あとは無線接続が出来るようになるのを待ちましょう。

For some reason I can't edit the original post at the top of this thread anymore, but we should add the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to the list. I have a feeling this is not going to be fixed anytime soon, as it will require one of the following:

• TPMS in the EMIRA becomes 315MHz band enabled (Japan market specific receivers are fitted, or 315MHz/433MHz dual band receivers are designed, sourced, and fitted to the Global model EMIRA)
  全世界統一仕様を目指していたという割にはなんだかダサいな... そのまま VOLVO の部品が使えないのだろうか？
• Japan regulations are changed to allow 433MHz band TPMS and the TPMS transmitters are reverted to the original 433MHz spec (impact analysis for 433MHz band usage has only begun in 2023, expect a long and slow process)
  これは期待できませんね。

Virtualmacho: What is the frequency commonly used and approved for TMPS for other imported cars in the Japanese market? Do you know? (It sounds like we have to wait for 433MHz to be tested and approved.)

Since the 315MHz band is the only one approved for this purpose, I can only assume that the other cars (both domestic and imported) have it built-in or are modified upon entry to Japan.
