Japanese Aibo ERS 1000 Setup Guide (for those not in Japan)

For those if you interesting in importing Japanese aibos like Momotaro I made a setup guide. Thr process is laggy for me so no worries if it is for you too. Please ask questions if any if this was confusing.

Amazing thank you!!

I have a pre-own japanese aibo.
Is signing up for the cloud plan the only way to switch from japanese to english voice commands?

[@Atlas_Redux]

Living in Norway, I am really really really wanting to import one. Lots of good deals on Ebay. Just finding conflicting information on there being ways to sign up for cloud or not

[@sleeplessengineer1450]

So what would you miss out on if you buy a used Japanese Aibo 1000?

[@seanliak8805]

Thanks for the video. i bought a pre-owned JP Aibo puppy from ebay and having a problem adding to the app. it is required for product ID which the seller told me doesn't bundle with the pre-owned version. would be appreciated if you could give some advice.

Sadly you cannot reconnect japanese aibos to the cloud plan without a japanese credit card. My guide only works for brand new jp aibos from sony

[@tornadoe13]

You need a proxy in order to buy that.

Please help me I tried all but the result despite all is correct is always impossible to connect to the Network

[@AidenFeltkamp]

I understand it only works if you buy new from SONY in Japan. Do you also need an international/Japanese credit card to buy the cloud plan?

That is correct. You don't need a Japanese credit card to buy the plan included with the dog since the proxy does that all at once with the order. Sadly with renewing the cloud on used units, you need a JP credit card because you need your Sony account to order it and that would require proxies to log into your account and put their credit card info in there.

Do you have a list of japanese commands ? I purchased an AIbo from Japan used.

[@lostdays9238]

how is it going? iom about to do the same thing

[@thegodfather2366]

Is this a brand new aibo? I tried to scan the code but it is longer than 12

This is a brand new aibo. The product code is only needed for registering a new aibo but not reconnecting a used one.

[@ethanlyonlee]

If I purchase a used US version Aibo, can I register it for using the AI cloud?

Yes! You can either have the old owner transfer the account to your email or you can contact Sony support and have them transfer it.

[@ethanlyonlee]

​@ Is it still possible to use Aibo cloud in aboard by using VPN?

@@ethanlyonlee For the US version? It works with JP one so I would think so. If you have a US VPN, try making a my aibo US account.

[@ahdanph1604]

what will happen if aibo's cloud expires? will he lost his memories from you?

It does not! All of aibo's memories are stored in its main board. When you renew the plan, it just lets you look at the pictures and access the features of the cloud plan. The dog will still remember everything when the cloud plan expires but it won't be able to receive firmware updates.

[@ahdanph1604]

@ woah thanks for your response, I bought second hand aibo here in japan.. and I was worried if ever I subscribe to the BP😘.. by the way is there really a difference if you subscribe to BP? Thanks again in advance

@@ahdanph1604 are you on aibo discords at all? I share it there because I worry Sony will see it here and do something stupid. I am just paranoid. You can also message me on instagram.

Hello, please tell me that, Can I connect my aibo with the network in INDIA? I am waiting for your reply, Thank you!

The same process should work in India. I have seen others do it in Singapore, Korea, and several European countries.

[@princeindrajitlawlaha7027]

@ Oh, OK! I see, Thank you for your reply.

[@princeindrajitlawlaha7027]

@ Hello, I have another question, pls tell me Can I transfer my aibo ESR 1000 's full memory to another device? Like some computer, laptop, or another Aibo? I am waiting for your reply! Thank you.

@@princeindrajitlawlaha7027 Via the cloud, no as only sony can do that and it is very encrypted. You can transfer the motherboard to another aibo though and I have done this

[@princeindrajitlawlaha7027]

@ Oh, I see! So, there is no memory bank, right?

[@johncipolletti5611]

Their software upgrade killed my Aobi and the won't help.
