Yes. Its had the headunit and rear screen replaced with a 'Tesla' style unit which will be in English. It has the 18 speaker system and electric seat pack (heated seats, memory, middle row electric seats with ottomans) Much better than your last

Did you try this?

Does this seem a good deal .... Toyota Vellfire 2012 2.4L G EDITION 73353 miles DUAL SUNROOF (HOT & COOL BOX ) 40 MONTHS GOLD WARRANTY 12MONTHS AA BREAKDOWN COVER (Handler protect Gold) £12700 Fresh import, no underseal

This restriction exists because, until recently, the maximum statutory speed limit on Japan's national motorways was strictly 100 km/h (approx. 62 mph). Consequently, Toyota hard-coded the cruise control logic in the Alphard's ECU to cap at roughly 109–115 km/h (approx. 68 mph) to ensure compliance with domestic safety regulations. Removing this is difficult because the limit is not a simple toggle in the software settings; it is embedded deep within the ECU's fuel maps and cruise logic. Bypassing it typically requires installing a specialised aftermarket "cruise control unlocker" (such as a Pivot 3-Drive unit) or a complex custom ECU re-flash, as standard diagnostic tools cannot alter this hard-coded safety parameter.

I'm too OCD to buy something that will leave a tiny mark on my windscreen. I tried replacing mine with the Bosch ones but they were too small. I am now due to get a replacement for the back so will commence my research. Will check out what bodekUK suggested.

You may find this video useful about my private purchase directly from Japan:

My first UK service was carried out by Toyota in Cambridge. Very knowledgable guys. At the time of my appointment, they had 2-3 other Vellfires/Alphards in the courtyard. I've had the full service and diff oils changed. The only thing they didn't get time to change was the gearbox oil. They turned out cheaper than my local garage!

Hi has any one used this company see they do a lot of up grades for stereo sat nav many thanks in advance bob

My issue is the heater stopped controlling between max & min, and the only way round that I’ve found is to have it full on or off via temp. selector. This makes me think the issue is a disc problem. Dirty or worn? Summertime job methinks, we need a heater up north at the moment! My control method is full heat & windows open if necessary 🙃 Excellent video, thanks!

All is well, new blades arrived via eBay very speedily & rear fitted no problem. Supplier Heyner UK Ltd. All look very good quality, price £25.97

A little more detail on the technique - do NOT remove the wiper blade! Thereby keeping the metal off the glass!

Wiper arm pullers are available quite cheaply if it does become difficult to remove. Link

Only the OEM stereo will give you the hybrid info sadly

Does anyone have a part number for the actuator assembly? It turns out the reason for my lack of hot air in the cabin wasn't a faulty actuator (as the above fixes), but both of them being missing! I assume they were harvested for another vehicle by a previous owner. I can see quite a few subtly different actuators online but without a part number I'm not sure which ones to get. I have a 2005 2.4l.

Thanks Pete, I will investigate this weekend. Does the cover just clip in & out? I don’t want to break it.

The information is all contained within that thread showing what I used, but it is attached with sikaflex 522 adhesive. It's going nowhere, even if I wanted to remove it.

You can change the LEDs for white ones, look on eBay

I have a 2016 with a JBL premium setup. I installed the Carplay box, and it works fairly robustly. It keeps the existing menu, etc., and you two-finger touch the screen to switch to the Carplay unit. I wanted to get a later-model JBL head unit and just swap it out, but was advised it's not as simple as the they also change other parts. like the amplifier or whatever. The cost of installation and supply was around 400, I think. UK, Birmingham.

I have one more thing to tackle. My Head-Up Display radio is dead after those guys did an interior cleaning job. They broke the on/off switch and it was going crazy but now is dead. Anyone can guide me where can I get a replacement? It had the part no: TOYOTA 56065. Can an after market android radio work? I would like to know if the HV battery energy display will continue to work or not or is there one that can be connected to the ODB2 and show up on a display.

Hi all. Finally fixed the car at the garage. They replaced the hybrid radiator pump and the circuit board from the hybrid battery. The car is running smoothly and the hybrid kicks in too. I have the codes but they are all in Chinese.

Hi everyone just a quick update on this, Facelift model from April 2018 comes with built in Android Auto and Apple Car Play best thing is to update the headunit with later model to enjoy the full functionality and sound experience.

A top tip I was given to remove wiper arms - loosen and remove the nut, press DOWN firmly, but not hard, on the arm, near to the wiper end, to release the grip on the splines, pull arm off! It's worked for me many times, I hope it does for you!!

Hey Smurf, great idea to use the gutter to mount the rail. I just had a quick look and I don't quite see how I would get a good attachment. Did you use a standard C rail that has a side profile like this: ___C and did you fix it behind or in front of the gutter?

Hi Picasso, VIN.No. ANH10-0110099 yes the light is by the rear view mirror with the sun glasses holder. I assume that the cover clips out?
