Nice. Would like some of the Japanese 8 seater mats, but the shipping is more than the product.

I never got an install manual, probably because i said i had already fitted one in the past. I haven't actually confirmed if their loom does the parking brake signal mod, because i still have the bypass i fitted previously. The kit should come with a microphone, too, so you can interact with Google Voice, although i have not actually tested this because i usually set my destination on my phone before getting into the car and it just auto connects and I'm away. There is a mod somewhere on this forum that i was part of, that you can do to reuse the Toyota microphone (which is the little grill to the right of the controls for the doors above the rear view mirror.) Again, this might already be in the new loom. I should really get around to buzzing through the new loom and seeing what they have connected everything to. When you remove the fascia of the headunit, you will see plenty of space to the left of the gear selector, that's where i have placed my android box. Your can buy a plug and play 2 port usb panel that fits in the blank switch spaces. I originally had it fitted next to the cigarette lighter socket, it connects inline with the existing cigarette 12v supply (i later moved mine to the space to the left of steering wheel) Check on Amazon or AliExpress, if you include Toyota in search term, you will get one that is plug and play, you can get them in usb a, usb c or combo of usb a and c

If you want to do a video chat for me to show you the unit working, send me a pm and we will set up a time

The unit has some functionality i haven't bothered to use, such as screen mirroring rather than android auto, but that is phone model/app dependant. I have not figured out how to get the steering wheel buttons configured, because when you press the buttons, the headunit intercepts them. I imagine an additional switch (like you see on some posts asking what mystery buttons are for) that switched steering wheel control wires from headunit to the android box would get that working, but in reality, the volume works as it should, and the phone call buttons interrupt the Android box and connect via the phone Bluetooth channel anyway, you only lose the 'mode' button (the back and skip buttons signal are sent to your mobile phone)

The whole system works by utilising the aux video input, so you won't get a pin sharp display, but it is perfectly usable for navigation etc. The way the existing headunit works, when you use reverse gear or slow down under 14kmph, the cameras will take over the display, so you see the parking sensors etc, auto parking will work as it should. The audio works as it should. The only irritation, is you have to click a button to swap the touchscreen input between the Android box and the original headunit functions, but you get used to that. I originally bought this over 3 years ago, and you had to manually splice/wire it up, the newer box i linked to comes with a plug and play socketed loom. If you have a rear screen, it will mirror the Android box. I've not tried to see if a dvd still works separately on the rear. I might do that later. If you are dexterous, you can remove the drop down screen on the headunit quite easily without having to under anything on the headunit itself., then you just need to route the new ribbon cable, i can share how i did it if you decide to buy this. One thing i noticed is the screen calibration was slightly off, but this can be reset by adding a small text file to a usb stick and rebooting the unit to bring up a calibration screen.

I have pdfs of these from the Toyota.jp website. They usually only have documents from the last 10 years, so if anyone wants some, i can share from my archive

I do not doubt anything you've said, these superchargers are rare. It looks like a superb example, but I've gotten spoilt by the electric heated seats and comforts on the G spec. This vehicle will spoil whoever buys it, they won't be able to return to a bog standard 3.5l.

Nice. Its just a shame they did all that to a base S model.

All the cabling is plug and play. You can chat with the seller, and they will confirm with you the correct wiring loom. Link to the unit i use On mine, i chose the touchscreen integration, which did mean having to remove the screen section, opening it, and plugging in a small cable. If you don't feel confident to do that, they can supply a 'jogwheel' controller that allows you to control the system.

Can you see the graphic on the speedo for cruise control? If so, the stalk should just work.

The original headunit has two separate Bluetooth connections, one for phone/WhatsApp/Microsoft teams etc, and one for media such as streaming radio. The satnav uses the media Bluetooth connection

Sent you a link.

Auto high beam might be configurable via the obd2 port, you can set the light level triggered for auto lights and the dashboard dimming via this method, i cannot test auto highbeam, because i don't have this feature on my alphard. If you buy a Bluetooth dongle for about £15 from ebay, you can install an app called carscanner on Android or apple that allows you to adjust all the 'dealer' customisation, such as sliding door continuous beep beep sound, the passenger seat belt warning alarm (i have my rucksack on passenger seat, and the weight used to trigger the seatbelt not fitted alarm), and you can turn off the beep/double beep noise when locking/unlocking car with fob etc. You can turn on and off the (hold lock/unlock fob button) to open/close all windows option, and set the a/c behaviour when using auto climate control. Its well worth the small cost for the adaptor, which also gives you access to diagnostics and additional sensor information such as transmission temperature and the usual additional performance graphs, etc

Your blue lights on the centre console are not standard, they are usually green, like on the other switch gear. An interesting feature, which you might not notice except at night, is that if you use the button on the driver's door that 'window locks' ( to stop passengers using the electric windows or sunroof), the leds on the electric window toggles, turn off. Its a nice little feature that most probably won't notice.

Here are the auto lock unlock linked to P instructions. Each option is a toggle, so if you turn on ignition select P then press the unlock button on the driver's door, it will toggle between unlock all on moving to park, or not unlocking all when shifting to park. If you turn on ignition, place in P and then press the lock button on the driver's door, it will toggle between locking all doors when you shut out of park, or not doing anything when shifting out of park. So in my Alphard, i have it to sort unlock when i shift to p, like a taxi, and it only auto locks when i go over 20kph.
