Technical How to change Uconnect 5" locale from Japanese to English?

[Glebcha]

Hi there!
Imported Abarth 595 from Japan and got language menu locked.
How can I flash Uconnect 5" (car made in 2017) to have English localization available?

Thanks in advance!

I thought you could do it through the screens menu…However, if you have mes you should be able to do it that way

This might point you in the right direction with mes https://www.multiecuscan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8923

I wish I could....
I don't have MES and even don't know which bytes responsible for current locale.

Thanks, but this thread is mainly general response that it is possible to change locale with some bytes.
But I'm newby to Fiat and it is a bit scary to "try and break". Better when you know exact steps.

I wonder if a firmware update might just do it , entering a UK car of similar vintage's VIN into:

If only I knew the exact solution and firmware to try.
Sorry, I'm newbie to Abarth/Fiat and looking for exact solution to exclude possible fault.

There is 7 inch Uconnect, mine is 5 inch as I mention in the name of topic.
Also, language menu is locked. That's why the only way is to change media fro japanese to european version or, somehow, flash european firmware.
