Do you have an official Toyota Dealer locally. As your car is a grey import, probably, they won't be interested. But they might be. It's worth asking

I agree with Steve, That may be what is the required method in Japan. Here? You will fail your auto test ! I drive manuals and autos everyday. and have done for 35 years. IMHO, safely driving an auto involves keeping your left foot on the floor, which can be quite difficult for drivers used to driving manuals. Buying the manual before the car is, imho, an extremely sensible thing to do. Delivery is quick, unlike many new purchases. Safe Driving

Hi Nutty, Welcome to the Forum. I have them on mine, but I didn't fit them so I cannot help you there, sorry.

Hi MonsterS, 4.8.1. Presence, condition and operation You must inspect the 2 mandatory red rear reflectors that must be fitted. Rear reflectors are not required on vehicles not fitted with front and rear position lamps, or have such lamps permanently disconnected, painted over or masked that are: only used during daylight hours, and not used at times of seriously reduced visibility Reflective tape is not an acceptable substitute for a rear reflector. Defect Category (a) Reflector defective or damaged: (i) by up to 50% of the reflecting surface (ii) by more than 50% of the reflecting surface Minor Major (b) Reflector: (i) not securely attached (ii) likely to become detached Minor Major I 'lifted' this directly from DVLA just now. My interpretation is that they are required. Are you able to clarify the position lamp clause please ? I believe it means tail lights.

Hello Ade, Welcome to the Forum. I have an earlier unit. To record a CD just play the CD. If the disk is not full, it will record the CD automatically. Yours is a later unit so this may not be applicable ! Good Luck.

If the dealer imported it, he will have an auction sheet ! Either way, he should have a copy ! it is advisable to see the auction sheet. Mileage, options, condition, damage, scratches, etc., etc., It has loads of detail. Car dealers are in it to make money, and they have to charge VAT, which hikes the price. But..... Some are better than others. My advice ? Don't hurry. Read the positive dealer (indirect) reviews in the Forum and shop around. You will probably need to locate someone, or a company, to work on it (when required); unless you are mechanically inclined. Many official Toyota dealers will not work on grey imports, but some will. Good hunting.

There is a large section on Insurance.

That's where my walking boots go !

Shame on them. I guess anyone living in your area needs to be very careful which dealer they choose !

Were they approved Toyota dealers?

Hello Billy, Welcome to the Forum, I wish I had a pound for every time I answered this new owner question ! Do you have the HDD unit ? If Yes, the answer is NO, unfortunately. If you don't have the HDD unit, which unit do you have ?

Many Toyota Main Dealers will not work on grey imports; but some will. Shop around, or try to locate a Toyota specialist. Most mechanical parts are reasonably available. Hhhhmmm !

Steve is probably right, but tracking down earthing problems can be fun; as any Lotus owner may tell you.

DyerNostics, Bodmin.

Those front seats are amazing

I believe there are two or three variants of the front 'spoiler'. Check member photos. I have a MZ G Edition which certainly has a different front end to other Alphies. You could sift through the ToyotaAlphardEPC drawings but be very thorough as there could be different brackets involved.

Hello Becca, Have you resolved this yet ? Do you have the original Japanese Hand Book for the head unit ? There is one with 480 pages. From page 400, there is a section on the reverse parking guides. If you have the manual, you will need Google Translate on your phone. You can use the camera phone to read the Japanese and Google will translate it. (I don't have a smart phone).

Not heard of that for the rear sonar sensors, but the warning changes with proximity. What warning are you receiving ?

Now that is very interesting.

Hi Teekay, I don't have a link; just a recollection from memory. A search of Google or Ebay should throw up some alternatives.

For those who may be interested. There is a non branded item 'identical' to this that is quite a bit cheaper. I had a Clarion set up once. It was very good indeed.

Is this a guide ?

Hello Rob, Welcome to the Forum.

Is this from a Theatre System, or some other amplifier ?
