They send me some manual which I don’t understand, so they telling me you need to dismantle the headunit and you need a professional installer to do it. I might just install the usb port then I can use the navigation via phone. Have a look what the sent me: 39e9aa71cf516a544ff00a5ebdb33a0b.docx

This is what the report say

This look slightly more complicated than the one Chris used. I kinda like the original headunit that I have currently, not sure if I want to get rid of it. Will try to wait for the supplier to reply and will go from there. Here is what I have at the moment:

Well that was his advice when I asked him about the underseal and if he could arrange it for me… The importer I bought this car from also had similar option he said it’s beneficial but not a necessity.

I spoke today with Jade Autos boss he said he been in the business for ages one of the first importers and he said its not worth to seal the cars as they will outlive you before they rust to bits(the toyota alphard he ment) not sure if thats true. Have you ever seen any cases with these being rusted out bad?

It was USS Tokyo. Lots of people and mostly traders told me that they don’t bother with undersealing anymore because it is more or less pointless, unless the car already has rust. I am thinking to do the Lanoguard, it is quite cheap and easy job and by the look of the reviews quite effective. This car just so clean, I want to preserve it as much as possible.

Could you share the link for which device you used?

Thank you for the reply thats is a lot of useful info. I have managed to contact them and sent them a picture of my headunit and the back of it, they confirmed it’s compatible and told me they will send me a manual how to install but still waiting for them to get back to me. By the way do you just leave the carplay unit hanging behind the headunit once it is connected? I mostly need the carplay for the navigation as I noticed there is no usb port for the driver so unable to charge the phone and the navigation drains it fast…

Interesting, let me know how it goes. I might just do the same. Will do some research on this Lanoguard product, thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I spoke with the seller and he told me that the car is not undersealed because they stopped doing it for they being accused by customers that they hiding the condition of the undercarriage by sealing it. The vx report is all good, the car is in very good condition just need the underseal. Have you done the underseal for yours?

It has been only maybe over a month, and I bought the car 3 days ago. The underneath looks spotless but does not look that it was treated with anything. I will double check with the seller, he did not mention anything though. Is this a standard procedure for doing this for the importer?

Hello everyone, I recently bought a 2012 Toyota vellfire and I am really loving this vehicle. One thing I am concerned about is the corrosion of the undercarriage as I have read that in Japan the manufacturers do not treat the cars with any anti corrosive treatment. Has anyone had any issues with corrosion or can shed more light on this matter? Also, any recommendations around London for quality underseal?

Thank you for the link. I would go with touchscreen integration also, doesn’t look complicated. Does all the original features work when the car play is enabled? Did you have any issues or something you dislike?

Hello, Can you share the link with me also? I am picking up my 2012 Velfire next week and already thinking about the head unit car play installation. Is it difficult to install? Thanks
