=>YES, in a EU unit with US firmware ONLY the original US DVD will work.
The modified US DVD will only work in a non-patched EU-unit.

MAYBE. It depends on wether you've already patched your EU unit. The software to do this is NOT on the US DVD. It's a seperate procedure. The unit will NOT update itself. So when you have a EU unit:
1. first patch the EU unit DVD with US firmware (procedure on this forum)
2. insert the original US DVD and the unit wll navigate (and also supports Satellite radio en the ricgth AM frequency for the US).
When you need help: please PM me.
