Try using your phone’s camera with Google Translate to scan the screen. That might help you find the language settings.

I already tried that, but I couldn’t find anything related to language settings. I think it might be locked to Japanese as a default for the region.
Most Japanese imports can’t change the language because they’re meant to stay in Japan. I had to replace mine on my 2018 Prius C.

That’s what I’m starting to think.

It’s hard to follow what you’re saying. Maybe try rephrasing?
You might need to replace it with an aftermarket system or a US factory unit.
That doesn’t look like an original unit. Looks like a JDM Alpine deck.
If you can find the model or serial number, you could look up the manual. It might show how to change the language if it’s possible. Otherwise, you’ll need a new head unit.

I’ll try everything I can before I replace it.
Time to start learning Japanese!
Duolingo might be your best bet here!
I found a video on changing the language for the instrument cluster. Not sure if it applies to the stereo.
Edit: Looks like the stereo is stuck in Japanese. You’ll probably have to replace it.
You probably can’t change it.
It’s not changeable.
Just try pressing random buttons and see what happens. You might figure it out eventually. Or just leave it as it is.
What shows up when you click on settings?
Look for a menu option with the characters “言語”—that means language.
Cue the song: “I think I’m turning Japanese, I think I’m turning Japanese, I really think so!”
You might just have to learn Japanese! Consider it the final level of this car’s challenges.
