Hi @Sorin I have been after the same nees as yours. Have you successfully done it? Please advise. I think i am close but still stuck , see https://uk.alphardclub.com/messenger/1157/?&tab=comments#comment-3956

Here's how I finally did mine, further to the above... Apple TV (all such units are dual voltage) Power: 110v Japanese power lead from Amazon, standard "figure 8" on one end and the 2-pin plug on the other Standard HDMI cable out to HDMI - Component converter (the converter is powered by a USB-C to USB cable, with the USB plug going into a converter into the centre console lighter socket) Component video from the converter box out to the converter input at the back of the centre console I've managed to stuff all of this under the rear passenger seat, so the only thing that comes out of the centre console armrest box is the USB power to the converter box.

Hi Just look at my previous post and use a mirror cast device that outputs component then steam from you phone to the mirror cast device which you plug into the component sockets behind drivers seat works a treat on both screens.

How do you connect the Miracast unit to the factory system? Recently purchased a Vellfire with standard VGA plugs and USB on the back of the centre console. I've tried connecting a fire stick via a VGA/HDMI adapter with no output. I'd be happy to be able to utilise the factory system more that just play DVDs.. anyone able to shed some light please.

Hi guys. Just for info I have my 3.0 2007 Alphard renewal come through with Admiral multi cover. [ house and car ] . £290.83. Includes my wife. Gold cover. No claims protected, legal cover etc I am for reference 67 with full no claims. regards

I don't know for sure, it's possible there is more than one type of wiring loom. Its only 2 bolts to remove in order to check

Hi replaced faulty rev camera with same one ,when fitted it will not show on screen .what to do to fix it

Thanks so much! I was pulling at a small glove box thing!

Hiya, Look under the dashboard where the accerlator is there you will find the fuse box. (you have be flexible to see it). It's a right mare to get fuses in and out.

Could someone please tell me where the drivers side fuse box is as the Toyota manual is absolutely useless. 2011 Vellfire 2.4. Much thanks!

@Rojie Thanks for your your reply. 😊

Hi doss, you could try Vic @ jrh in Huntingdon,good honest guy,been importing for 30yrs,I just bought a vellfire from him,

Hi Doss, Where are you based? We bought ours from Vine Place, Wingate, County Durham. They are on the usual social media channels and website. Thoroughly recommend them, if not too far from you.

Cheers rojie

This is covered in this Forum, AND there is a video to help you.

Algys Autos appear to import several brands. Whilst this is no bad thing; you may wish to focus on an importer that specialises in Alphard / Vellfires. Many Importers re not able to offer maintenance facilities; so you need to ensure that you know where you will get your vehicle serviced. Do NOT assume the importer has those facilities and/or skills, or that your local Toyota dealer will work on your machine.

Any ideas. . TIA

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice regarding the stereo in my Vellfire. After 8 months of perfect operation the rear screen has packed up, much to the disgust of my kids. I’ve stripped it down, cleaned it etc but have had no luck. I’ve managed to get the sound back by joining the 2 wires as some members have recommended on here, so it’s obviously the screen itself. So far I’ve found a used screen is £500+ or a new one on Amayama is just over £2k. Research has shown these screens are problematic so I’m now thinking about changing the head unit for a UK one (car play, sat nav etc) and fit a compatible rear screen. I’m just wondering if anyone has had any success doing this, or used a company that has done it for them? Is it even possible to install a dvd head unit which will play to a rear screen like the oem system or is this considered dated now? I’ve contacted a few audio specialists but no one seems interested.

Hi Philip, Thanks for your information. Ours is a 2013 series 20 petrol, not hybrid. We are looking at a rear conversion to use as a “day van” with only occasional overnight use. I will take a look at the Vandemonium channel as you suggest. I was thinking to kit it out in a similar manner to your layout, it’s just a matter of organising the space, (difficult for a microwave even though I’d like one), with a rear setup. Did wonder about a power bank, but again space is an issue. Thank you again, Alan

Hi @jbh , you may see https://www.joyingauto.eu/android-auto-double-din-head-unit-15.1-inch-hd-touch-screen-8gb-autoradio-with-hdmi.html credit goes to @Voodoo101 . I took this from https://uk.alphardclub.com/forums/topic/9198-looking-for-a-new-head-unit-that-does-everything/#comment-34607

Hey Jimmy, that's great to hear about your system working! I didn't find any settings using google translate (other that the DUAL, or in my case Front Screen Independent) in my van, nor my friends. I also tried to leave the battery disconnected overnight without any success. I'll try to pull the head unit and see if that works. of note; I do have the rear headrest screens that are somehow connected to the system so that may be playing a role. I doubt it though because the picture is coming through fine on the front screen.

you can try calder campers i went there before i bought mine from stuart spencer https://www.caldercampers.co.uk/

@Picasso I am based in Scotland, but I’m happy to travel anywhere in the UK to find the right vehicle. Thanks a lot.
