Hi CamelX, you've probably figured this out already but on the AliExpress Sky Fame page (linked above) scroll down to the Description field and expand it. In there are detailed photos of the exact connectors in each of the three packages. The written descriptions ( Full set Big plug, Full set small plug... ) don't convey much information. You'll need to remove the head unit from your vehicle and examine the connectors on the vehicle wiring harnesses. Match these up exactly with the photos of the SkyFame connectors - that way you can be sure you are selecting the correct package.

Are you sure it is P1325 as inverter faults are P3123-xxx, if so, you need to find the sub code (-xxx) to identify the part in the inverter or wiring to the ECU's.

Hi. We’ve got a 2.4 L 2007 Alphard. Should the transmission fluid level be checked with the engine running or not. Also, what grade of oil should I use to top it up and where can I buy it from. Thanks. Kim & Kev

I have a problem with my 06 2.4 hybrid, the roof warning light , Vehicle stability light and the ABS light are all coming on after about 100miles running. The OBD is showing a fault as code as p1325 inverter fault. Has anyone come across this or knows what the fault is TIA for any assistance.

Hello, would anyone be able to share the service manual for a hybrid vellfire 2014? I need to remove the bumper as the fog light has become loose following a meeting with a tree stump.

So after having good look round I only actually have 6 speakers, dash, front doors and rear doors.

If anyone is planning on doing this I have the crank pulley lock tool.

Vellfire 2.4ZG Last few fill ups, about 27 mpg 50/50 town/ motorway but breaking 30 mpg with bit more motorway, cruise where I can, eco mode and a light foot 😂 334m 50.4l 30.13 mpg 326m 54.33l 27.28 mpg 299m 49.92l 27.23 mpg 322m 53.9l 27.16 mpg

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?
