  1. Hi I've had an email about your radio ,not sure it's meant for me as yours is a different head unit ,but for me a frequency changer is a waist of money and time as they only increase your radio range very slightly, you will be disappointed, you can't change Japanese radio frequency to pick up British radio or TV if fitted,installing a pure 400 or the (600 which will work with your phone) to is much easier and a lot less expensive ,keeps everything else working on the unit without having to pay £400 plus a lot more ,depends on what you want,would recommend( pure 600) as workes with your phone,because its digital its future proof, hope that helps
  2. Hi was just wondering if anyone has heard of dipetane fuel enhancer,have just bought some and going to see if it has an effect, works with any fuel,but after reading its more for diesel engines as diesel isn'tgood at mixing, helps it mix better with air on combustion, using it in Ireland putting it in some fuels to buy pre mixed and getting better fuel consumption better emissions by a good way,but for petrol engines benefit mainly by the lubricants in it,there's a lot more to add but seems it's backed up with 30 years of lab tests and papers by professor basically it really good for your engine and can help your engine last a lot longer
  3. They also do a 600 model which comes with a microphone so can use your phone for calls
  4. Hi no need for a phone but can bluetooth your phone using there free app off Google play, enables you to press a button on pure 400 unit and it saves the song for you ,free for a year then a small charge,doesn't let you use phone for hands free calls,it comes with a very small areal which sticks to top of windscreen that is attached to a black box just above ,twice size of a small box of matches, that has a magnet attached which slides under head lining to earth it,a wire goes down side of windscreen with sticky pads supplied, or hide it ,this is power supply for digital areal, goes in cigarette lighter,same wire has two connectors on it ,a USB and 3.5 mm jack USB goes in cigarette lighter using connector supplied or using another attachment can go in jack on radio,so connects straight to it,if you want it can be solderd into wiring behind radio for power supply and USB plugs into connector supplied so wiring out of way,pure 400 unit has a stand supplied with a sticky pad so attach we're convenient, comes with two aaa battery's which last ages,so no wires, plenty of instructions, if it is connected by jack it is a perfect connection so great sound,I've ordered a 20 pin to jack connector and female to female connector so hopefully will use this instead of jack input as radio doesn't have one,as it's digital it automatically tunes all stations for you like a TV then just turn dial until it shows station you want to listen too and press ,no tuning required.
  5. Hi thought I'd mention I tried expander and was a waist of time and money but bought a pure 400 digital radio from amazon £55 ish or £120 from halfords only small ,stick it where you like on dash or screen, set your radio in car to a fm channel not in use and new digital radio to same fm channel, really easy to use and there's absolutely loads of digital radio channels to choose from ,no need to change your radio in your dash,plays through your car speakers
  6. Hi thanks for your reply,I think I may have sorted it or its working for now,I turned the small dial on the tachometer from full on anticlockwise from full so dash lights a little dimmer ,also jiggling the door switches either side ,they go out now ,will keep a close eye on that,and yes it's the lights at rear view mirror thanks for your response
  7. Hi is their anyone who has had the front curtacy lights not go out fully when front doors closed locked ,will dimm but not go out,rear ones fine ,not got them turned on at moment as don't want a flat battery ,I'm going to check earth's on pillers of doors ,but anyone had this and corrected it,if so how ? Thanks for any input
  8. Hi I've just took a photo of my Toyota alphard 2004 3.0v6 petrol cap,it's got Japanese writing which translates to high octane, looking through Google at Japanese petrol information 95 octane is 89 to 95 in octane value,high octane is 96 and above in Japan,I'm sure European 95 octane minimum will be fine to run affords on,since Toyota engines after 1998 are mostly OK for e10 fuel, I'm sure affords are OK to run on e10 ,rubbers etc should all be same quality, if you're not shure then put in high octane, its going to on sale for ages yet or buy an additive to increase octane
  9. Acceleration sensor fuel cut off communication status, Says ,abnormal Using code reader icarsoft i905, Never seen anything like that before, anyone else cast any light, have asked isoft but not really expecting any response, have cleaned air mass sensor,have done the ignition key turn twice third time start engine let tick over for 5 minutes and car resets tick over,did that as noticed it had a new battery just before purchase,will have to see if that workes,next will try cleaning throttle body tick over air hole that works off magnets and heat of engine water,apparently they can get gummy with age and stick
  10. They have just started selling new on ebay terzo ones but £500
