Alphard Club

xtrons screens can vary, some are quite dim in the daytime and hard to see when you have sunglasses on. Most systems are made by the same factory. Pioneer do one but does not have Android opsys

I would look at investing in dial faces. You may find those stickers will be a pain. Also, in an event of an accident, dont let your insurance wiggle their way out of paying. Just saying.

Sample email sent above.. make sure you edit the bits that need editing carefully.

There are 2 email addresses you need to contact. ap-overseas@mail.toyota.co.jp cr@toyota.co.uk Make sure you add both emails by cc-ing one of them. No point contacting Toyota GB directly, these emails will work. This order needs to come from Toyota Japan which will hit Toyota Europe, Toyota Europe then instruct Toyota GB, who then instruct a dealer to contact you with an appointment. You will get a call by Toyota GB before it goes to the dealer though. The dealer needs to receive instructions booklet on how to change the airbag etc.

I have never worked mine out and never used it. I presumed it was all connected to the TV tuner under passenger seat. Not electronically minded enough.

here is another one https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dlya-avtomobilej/toyota/alphard-vellfire-42427

I have always wished mine was dial converted because i swear my current set up is affecting the gearbox set up.

Seconded. Ben can get all the parts needed

Welcome along Ben. You Come Highly recommended. Feel free to add some contact info mate.

Please let us know how you got on

Before the winter comes I would recommend it. During summer is not an issue. Either Waxoyl or Dinitrol are good. What i did with mine was give it a good power wash underneath to make sure it was all clean and bone dry. Should be around £300-400

I have heard good things about Direct Line, The only issue is not all phone operators can find the car in their lists for some reason. But they definitely deal with Alphards

I believe there are 2. As its a v6 there will be 2 x outlet manifolds. Trevor will be along soon to confirm.

HI Mate.. It's very new forum. Please bear with us.

Not cheap though.

Xtrons are a popular kit with Alphards. Also Pioneer. You can get looms from Halfords. If you have a theatre system then a Beat-Sonic kit Beat-Sonic full kit is the following SLX-130 - Main adapter CS3EP - Front and Rear camera adapter BC12 - Reverse camera loom BC1 - Reverse camera adapter AVC-1 - Rear screen adapter/connector Not the cheapest, but will restore cameras too.

Poole

better to be safe than sorry when it comes to belts etc. First thing i did when i got mine. Undersealing the Alphard is also a good idea.

Paul MCKeown is highly recommended, I have seen many happy owners buy from Paul and I think he is probably the best in the business. He strives for the best and ensures the car is legit and provides full documentation with every car sale. Also, you can see selection he has recently purchased online and purchase to order. You can also order LPG conversions too. Nice chap to deal with. http://newacrecars.com/

I spotted this video from Eco Campers on Youtube. Looks a nice design for a side kitchen and love the way they utilise the second side door so you can cook outside instead of smelling up the inside.

Update I Contacted Toyota GB with an email explaining my car was due for a recall in Japan, showing them the recall page and also providing screenshots of the page that had been translated. Next day I received a call from Toyota customer services who took more details from me and then passed in on the legal and compliance dept. He did say it can take up to 12 weeks, but could be sooner. It is best to be patient. I will keep an update on how it goes.
