Just above the AltGr key of your keyboard is the full stop key.

Please use it in conjunction with the space bar to turn your statement into a question and I'll do my best to assist you.

Pamela, you need to insert the SD card, if you have it!
It is needed to initialise the system on first boot up, when power/battery has been disconnected then reconnected. This SD card contains the map information and other data. 
When the SD card inserted and the boot up process begins, you need to leave in for a long while, until everything is ready. This could be a few days! Once the system has settled, the card can be removed and kept safely. It know that some unscrupulous garages take the card, but hopefully that is a rare occurrence. 

If the SD map card is missing, you can source one from eBay for you region, and get as late version as possible. Just be aware of the source. Toyota charge a lot for something that is a bit out of date.

I think I have manage to understand the query, and hopefully given I think a suitable answer.

But "Chinese writing" ….this surely cant be an OEM headunit?

A lot of electronic products are made and developed/designed in China, @lpher.

I know...as i work with this for a living...but i have yet to see Chinese text on an oem Toyota headunit...but i might just have been lucky! 😄

I suspect that the OP probably doesn't differentiate between Chinese & Japanese characters.

Good..and valid...point 🙂
