Just Picked Up a 3.0

[Bazzer1955]

Just picked up a 3.0 Alphard on a 06 plate 69000 miles, just been serviced, cam belt was changed in May with the water pump, undersealing done, not a mark on it, just found it had 5 gears lol. Also had a tow bar fitted in May which has never been used, this should keep tail gaters  away from my rear.

Hi Barry,

 

Welcome to Alphard ownership.

Cheers Fella

One good point is that it seems better on fuel than my Octavia Vrs which I find surprising lol

Just found a shed load of tunes on the hard drive ( good old Google translate). This will keep us going for a while. The bluetooth will not connect to my phone, it wants to find an Iphone lol. A fm transmitter will solve that, so far so good. Can't seem to get front cameras working, but its not a biggie. I will have to find a dvd somewhere to try.

The Bluetooth should connect to your phone (phone willing)

Thanks for that but have given up on that as the fm transmitter is working well. Just bought one of these from ebay item number 174427583514 for the 110v socket. I thought it would go one of two ways lol. Well it works and can turn it off from the dash switch, 😀

100v outlets are only good for an amp. Careful what you plug in.

The front cameras, if you have them, are switched from the headunit.

Again, eightseater.blog.com can help you.

 

Good luck whichever way you go (pun intended).
