Seen a few and looks like the sensor can be placed to receive the signal. The bigger question is mirror based or dash based? Wire it up or rely on solar with reduced functionality, or... just not speed (responsibly of course)!

RE: News from Japan

No news from Japan yet, but did stumble across this interesting site on the 2014 MY with fairly lame video. Apologies if already picked up elsewhere:

Fresh off the boat! Alas, not mine, but must be fun to unwrap that present!

Paperwork done, just hope it clears customs and registration at high speed!

Call from the dealer today...one week and counting! Roll on next Saturday!

Loan approved; parking space confirmed; personal plate ok; coating requested. All in place for the big day, especially as it falls on a long weekend.

All good things come to those who wait they say.
