not too sure about the lcd, but you'll have problems tuning the radio. it will be set to german frequencies.

For text... if the deck has multi lang option then you wont have to worry.

As for FM it will be fine. AM will be off a bit but still works. I have no problems with any US stations using my european spec radio.

I have the euro W163 comand and its under the settings menu. Not sure that works on the deck you bought.

Best bet is just to fumble with it. However I think you wont have that much of a problem. I mean after all most you can do is tune in a station, play a CD, operate a CD changer and do some rudiment tone control. So you should be fine with the hunt and peck approach.
