You will have a separate fob for it. Just three buttons. Lock, unlock and tailgate. The reason I ask is it can, when programmed through the head unit, perform all kinds of tricks with the locking system. I was just wondering whether it has some bug or other malfunction; perhaps needing a new fob battery. Doors can be programmed to lock after you drive off, etc. Is your rear hatch electrically assisted? On another line of thinking, I believe the rear hatch has obstruction detectors. perhaps there is a malfunction there. I am just guessing, as no-one else (in my recollection) has reported such a situation !

You don't need to change the head unit, if that's what you're considering, to use a Sat Nav. There are phone apps or discrete Sat Nav units

Hello Nigel, According to the JPNZ Owners Manual (highly recommended, available on ebay). 8.6 litres, Toyota Auto Fluid type T-IV

Hello Jarek, Welcome to the Forum.

Hello Dan, Do you have the Smart Lock System ?

Darth Vader's transport !

I was under the impression the 4D67 chip was introduced on the Gen 1 facelift, as was not 'fitted' to the early Gen 1 machines. I expect Chris.ac can confirm, or refute, this.

I visit mine personally. Drink their excellent Hot Chocolate, and normally get excellent service. The only downside is that, as an official Toyota dealer, they are not cheap ! I will continue to recommend Snows, but not the Honiton branch (although, I suppose, your form may not have 'gone' to Honiton).

I have seen them on other Toyota vehicles, mainly 4 x 4 s.

Hello Tom, Do you encounter the same problem if the engine is running ? If so, charge your battery fully. Is it both doors ? I am wondering if you may have a problem with the obstruction sensors

Hi Derek, Some of the better dealers will renew the rear bushes before sale. I believe this involves lowering the rear axle. More learned members will comment, I hope; but I think the rear brakes need bleeding afterwards. Sorry to be so cynical, checking brake pads is not the same as replacing them if needed ! If this situation has just occurred it seems strange to happen so soon after an MOT pass.

I'll check mine, but I don't think it has a silicone base. Mine is not secured but does stay put.

It may be worth checking the DVLA Guidance to MOT Testers; just to check that these features are part of the MOT. Does your vehicle have the usual indicators in the head light and tail light clusters ? Do they all work ? It may be worth asking another testing station for their opinion.

Rubbish. And they are not mandatory, as most Alphies do not have them.

Hi Alasdair, It isn't a cycle mirror. You will never see a cyclist in it unless you have run over them ! There is another recent thread about this. It is a kerb and front bumper mirror.

High Tops on Alphies are very rare. My guess is there is more than one type, and, therefore, more than one height !

They are not particularly easy to use. Front cameras are more useful, if you have one.

If you are really struggling contact Picasso, he will almost certainly get you the correct part numbers. He will need your VIN.

I have a dash mat, as I call them. Not necessarily this one though. Works well, can be secured with Velcro pads. As a guess, the black gadget looks like a microphone or an on / off switch for one of the many options many Japanese fit to their vehicles. These gadgets get removed, usually, before auction. I have three or four non functional gadgets. I have left mine alone fearing removal damage to trim etc.

Hello Chris, Welcome to the Forum, Sorry, I have moved this to the For sale section, where it needs to be. Hopefully you will get some interest soon. I have moved this to the For Sale section

Hello Derek, Welcome to the Forum. Take it back to your seller. Assuming it was a business sale, they should fix it under warranty. Was the seller the garage that 'service' it ? Presumably, you have checked the fluid level. Does the braking improve if you repeatedly 'pump' the brake pedal ?

Hi Pete, Do the Gen 1 facelift vans have 6v cameras? Where are the 12v cameras available from, as I could use more clarity from the front cameras ? As they east to fit ?

Hello Nick, Welcome to the Forum and your impending Vellfire ownership. As a Gosport Grammar School 'boy' I have progressed through life, without too much regret. My wife travels by train to London several times a year and I collect her from the railway station. Although we have a choice of vehicles to choose from she always prefers our Alphie MZ G. Although I have the regalia, cap, trousers, etc., she prefers that I not to wear it ! However, as I arrive, and glide to a halt, and the rear side electric door slides open with a whisper, exposing all the beige leather. she smiles her beautiful smile. We both feel like a million dollars ! "Welcome home" mutters our Japanese guide, as we serenely move away towards our home. I forgot to mention Tye, our extremely energetic Sprollie who is extremely excited to be reunited with 'Mum', and is going absolutely bonkers with total disregard for the surrounding luxury. Enjoy your new van, I am sure you will.

Hello Karen, You will probably (almost certainly) need an auto electrician. Are you located in South, Mid or North Devon? I can recommend one in South Devon. You will need a Master key, and 80 to 100 pounds !

Hello Graeme, When you speak of FM reception, and the window aerials, are you using an OEM Head Unit ? If so, are you aware that the OEM units will only receive Radio 2 on FM (analogue) without a band expander ?
