  1. Currently is an AC, RH sliding door, Sunroof & Window system hisat111.pdf hisat102.pdf hisat047.pdf hisat035.pdf
  2. Yeah the extra connector on the PCB is because some head units have a different size Flexi. The usb is for removable media if you are using the video or MP3 player instead of the carplay
  3. Glad you got it fixed. The relay box is an absolute bugger to get out, but the solid state relay was the problem for me, too. I can understand that they form part of the security system, but Toyota could have made these more accessible.
  4. I know it's a year old but did you find it?
  5. Hi there. Any recomendations for a mechanics in East London please? I have an Alphard Hybrid 2006 which has big issues! The engine switches off after 5 min on the road and it can take up to 20min to start it again. Therefore I cannot drive it very far at all to get it fixed. A mobile mechanic would be ideal! Many thnaks!
  6. A bit more info. Van had a spell of idleness due to battery (engine) issues, basically knackered, new one sourced from NAPA, good company to deal with, when I baulked at price compared to ’online’ they knocked £20 off! Anyway engine noise, at first sounded like squeaky rattle more like loose sheet metal, then it changed to heavier knocking. When neighbours son came and checked he explained purpose of DMF and his proof of diagnosis was to change from neutral to drive with out letting the van move. The noise altered immediately & he was 100% convinced DMF was the issue & should ‘self cure’ with more use. Van had good run yesterday and I’m convinced noise had reduced considerably plus it’s getting 2 hour run tomorrow so 🤞 My reading this morning indicates Toyota have used DMF’s in various models but I haven’t found reference to Alphards - yet! Purpose of the part is to smooth out gear changes especially in automatics. I recall being told by an Audi owner 23 years ago that his small lightweight car (can’t recall model) had constant trouble from DMF, & car was so light that when idling the single large windscreen wiper would gently rock car!
