Change Japan TV module to Eu?

Hi I have imported an F11 with Tv from Japan and am asking if i can "convert" it to Eu through coding using WinKfp?
I have converted CIC from jap to eu before but not a tv module. They are different part numbers and i think the tv signal is different but the physical form is the same as are the connections.
If someone has done this pls let me now, thanks all

You can try flashing it using ECE software since they have reqion frequency differences.
Ive ever flash a tv module and saw that the options change but didnt test TV function since its not supported.
For flashing esys is used not winkfp.

Thanks for the info, could you give me an idea of which bits i would need to flash and how? is it the cafd that needs to be changed using "calculate swe" button? or another. Happy to post my progress so others can benefit

Also when i changed the FA in a 2017 japanese mini F54 and added s812 and s853 for english language and region then coded HU_NBT (its evo) the radio frequencies didnt change like they do in an F10 using the same process (F10 is 2015 NBT btw). Is this a region lock thing do you think?
I know i will need an FSC region change for the nav but expected the radio to change to EU frequencies....

Thanks

For nbtevo you need region change patch, i can provide one if you want.
You can change frequencies by editing the fdl manually instead of vo coding. using that way no region change is needed.

For flashing its better you change typecode to ECE, add correct options in fa the calculate tal. Using it to flash. Do this for TV module only.
