An app ? Or a device? Ancel JP700, or Techstream. Other members will provide more detail. This is a very common topic within the forum.

Number of seats on V5C
Perhaps ask your insurance company ? Do they care; as long as they know what it is and hasn't been modified.

couple of questions
Are you referring to Analogue TV or Digital TV ? Either way, I expect the carrier frequencies are very different; so changing the aerial will not solve the issue (although different aerials may be required). Analogue has been switched off in the UK.

Insurance
Hi Colin, Welcome to the Forum. Aviva. Try to avoid using comparison websites; pick a few and call them direct; many don't recognise the Alphie as it is a JDM import. There is a whole section on Insurance Companies within this forum. Good Luck. Guide price ? £500 depending on driving record, etc.

Fans
After you have switched off the ignition, for how long do the fans run ? Indefinitely, until they run down your battery ? Or for what period ? IF the engine is overheating, you should expect the fans to keep running until the unit is cooler. Obviously you would need to discover why it is overheating. Is it using water ? Steam from the exhaust after the engine is warmed up ? Is the inside of the oil cap emulsified ?

Swap oven for microwave
Do you have an EHU set-up ? I am assuming you do. Microwaves have a large inrush current, you will need an EHU or powerful generator.

Full video guide on how to fit a fog lamp (OEM stalk)
I feel sure that Chris.ac has stated there are three types, one or each Gen. I believe the Gen 1 type is unique to Gen 1 machines. Check Chris's posts to be sure

Sticky dash fix
I have a similar one. Does not slip over sensor or move around, and that's without Velcro or other fastening. Prevents reflected summer glare really well.

Replacement battery
Halfords should be OK. If they do not fit it for you, ensure the terminals are the correct size for the Alphie wiring AND that the terminals are in the correct orientation and polarity.

Sticky dash fix
You can buy dash mats to stop the dash becoming sticky. But too late if it is already sticky.

Any advice please.
I like the rear mat. Quite high mileage. Only just imported. Clear MOT.

Prospective Alphard Purchaser.
Hello Billy, There is lots of buying advice in the Forum; much reading for you to do. Use the search function on your home page. I would advise avoiding Hybrids from the 2002 to 2008 era.

How to connect buttons in steering wheel again

How to connect buttons in steering wheel again
Hello Stewart, Welcome to the Forum. Rather a vague question, don't you think ? Which buttons ? If it was a commercial conversion, take it back and have the supplier fix it. (Conversions don't normally involve the steering area, unless your rear fog light feed has been has be taken from there). If it was a home conversion, only you will know what has be touched / attempted. More information, please.

Performance upgrades
Perhaps I am getting confused between Amayama and AliExpress !

Performance upgrades
Amayama is good for bling parts, and many replacement parts. Think very carefully before lowering your vehicle. Pot-holes and speed ramps / sleeping policemen will cause you no end of worry. Lowering will not be cheap and may affect resale value as it is expensive to refit OEM hardware.
