Try willtheyfit, or something similar, as you can check errors 'magnitude' with non-standard tyre wheel combinations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallychief Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 Thanks Roger, it has factory wheels, i have the GPS speedometer now, and it pretty much agrees with the speedo on the Alphard, so i think the GPS speed readout i was using which is part of MY Digtal OS mapping ( Memory Map )to check the Alphard, is actually not to accurate. fortunately the GPS speedo i bought has other functions, ie clock, compass overspeed warning, trip mileage and prob others i haven't found yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallychief Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 One other niggle is the fairly constant chatter from a female Japanese voice, and the constant beeping, can either of these be turned off or disconnected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techstream is free, but you will need the correct cables. Search the Forum for tips on which cables to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I thought the Japanese lady was turned off via the stereo menus? There isn't much that can be customised via techstream for the Gen 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallychief Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 Any ideas how to turn off the ladys voice in stereo menus, it's the more irritating of the 2 issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallychief Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 (edited) Quick update, the dealer has now fitted this box, it is just a generic Android/Apple Car Play box, it expands the radio, but still has the japanese Frequency range 76-90 so you have no idea what actual frequency you have, its a guess to what programme you have, it's also impossible to navigate, it works through the TV button, so i have lost my Aux input, all in all a disaster Edited July 7 by rallychief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
