If it is the JPNZ Owners Manual it is well worth having/

 

No it won't. You almost certainly can't.

He he, beginning to wonder what I have got myself into ;)

Hi Will,

 

With the greatest of respect, you are considering buying a vehicle over 20 years old, and intended solely for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM).

You cannot expect it to be a UK spec vehicle.

 

Having said that, if you buy it, you will be surprised how sophisticated it will be.

JDM vehicles in general do not have English options on the head units designed for Japan (due to custom satnav, connectivity to japans road communication network, radio frequency ranges that are not generally used elsewhere etc, unless it is a headunit also used on the export models for Hong Kong or Malaysia, in which case they tend to have lower spec headunits in English. 

 

You most certainly will need to get used to the interface, which didn't take long to be fair, or swap it out for a uk headunit

 

I've owned import Toyota's since 1999, and just never bothered replacing the fitted units, they do what they are designed to do. Play music. 

Cheapest fix is a radio band expander for about £15, and a Bluetooth to FM adaptor if an aux in is not available.

Thanks, yes will look into the expander👍

Is your English language Handbook still available?

If it is and it covers 2008 3.5 AWD, please advise this newbie how to contact you.

Cheers

Hi, yes, it's still for sale. I'm not sure if it covers your van. I'll need to check. I'm away on holiday just now, so will check when I get back on Saturday. Please PM me for my phone number.

Thanks, Colin

It would be wiser to send your phone number by Private Message; as it will now be available on the internet.

 

I will remove it for you, if you wish.

Sorry, yes, please remove it

I have your number and I'll call you early next week.

Delighted V6Barge owner

Hi Colin, if the manual isn’t suitable for v6barge’s vehicle but is for a 2003 alphard I would be interested in buying it off you.

thanks, Will

Thanks Will. Keep in touch. I'll let you know. Cheers

Hi Will and V6barge,

I'm back home now and have checked the manual. It is for the Alphard 2.4 and 3.0, 2002-2008.

It's 353 pages, in perfect condition.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Colin

Hi Will, do you still want the manual? It's for a 2002-2008 2.4 or 3.0 Alphard. Cheers, Colin

Hi Colin, yes I do that would be great. Have sent you a text message. Thanks, Will
