That's great thanks all

Does anyone know how the original 8 speakers are wired? Not sure how 8 speakers were connected to a 4 channel amp??? Will be pulling the stereo out on Thursday to check wiring.

Hi. We’ve got a 2.4 2007 Alphard. I’ve checked the transmission fluid level with the engine running (is this correct?) and it’s at the low level mark on the dip stick. Can someone recommend which grade of fluid to use and where to get it. Also, do I add this fluid carefully through the dip stick tube? Thanks. Kev & Kim.

That is most informative, thank you so much. Once the storm has abated we will check out the coolant . Cheers.👍

Go to the link above (https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/toyota-japan/alphard/ANH15W/38248/body/7652) - make sure you put in your vehicle details so you get the right parts. To me it looks like those clips are part number 75397-58010 and are 1.44 each UKP.

I've bought a Pioneer DA 130b to instal Thanks. So far have ordered a Pioneer da 130dab, a set of Hertz 6 x 9 for the front doors and a 4 channel Pioneer amp, I currently have the same Pioneer set up in my 2003 MNH10 and it's decent - was very to install with Toyota adapter cables.

Hello Rob, Welcome to the Forum.

Unfortunately not

Is a cheap OBD port dash mount speedo acceptable for an IVA test?

As you are in Scotland, Hybrid Battery Repair based out of Glasgow seem to get reviews from Alphard hybrid owners. https://hybridbatteryrepair.co.uk/ One of the most common faults is the hybrid coolant pump failing. If the lights aren't on when started from cold and then they come on after a short drive, this could be an indicator of a coolant issue. An easy way to check is to take the cap off the hybrid coolant radiator (the pressure cap on the right hand side when standing in front of the car) and you should be able to see the coolant level bobbing about with the engine running. If not the electric coolant pump has likely failed. Don't take the cap off when warmed up unless you like hot steam on your skin 🥴

Just bought a 2011 Vellfire, it originally had an Alpine x08s system which, unfortunately, the dealer replaced with a crappy double din no-name unit. Looking to upgrade speakers as well, does anyone have a wiring diagram and details of speaker sizes that may help? There's also an Alpine screen in the rear although I don't think I'll bother trying to get that working. 2011 3.5 Gold model - GGH20 Thanks in advance.

I Just need some new clips for mine anybody got a link to a supply. I have looked for generic clips on EBay & Amazon but they don’t fit. Regards Jon.

Interesting Thread. Im also in the position where the car came with a replacement Android screen - so I have no idea what model it came with, Chatgpt seems to think it was 08545‑00R40 I do know it has 18 speakers, amp and subwoofer - im curious to see what can be made to work. Browsing Aliexpress for the MOST box, I see this. Skyfame MOST box . It has different options - Full set free most, Full set Big plug, Full set small plug.. None of this means anything to me! Any advice on which option to go with?

Additional photos now its in UK Full walk around video is available.

Full walk around video available. Car is undergoing preparation and registration.

Some updated photos now it has landed. Full preparation underway. Photos are how it arrived from transport. So requires a wash. Full walk around video available.

Hi again So I did the reset 5 days ago. Probably opened/closed the door 40 times since then. No issues - until today! So what would the next steps be?

I've had a look through recent posts with advice and wondering if I might get some too, as a n00b. I'm off to see a 2017 2.4 petrol hybrid. There are posts saying "avoid pre 2008 hybrids as they can have issues", any experience in the later models ? Is it possible to drive it if the hybrid fails (eg. read somewhere of an inverter failure)? Its got lots of bells and whistles, which is great, but like the power doors it does leave more to go wrong. Are powered seats, with or without massager (!) things best avoided too? In any case, hoping to be a fully fledged member soon and looking forward to some adventures. Thanks

thanks buddy Lusso are based in Yorkshire think there main works are VW`s but they said they have done Alphard/Vellfires, probably the nearest one to me but im willing to travel
