  1. Yep, standard headunit on 18 speaker system allows you to create two sound zones, for front and rear with independent volume control. I can stream radio to front 8 speakers, and dvd to rear 10. If a phonecall comes in it will further split the front, and continue to Complain on japanese when I upset it
  2. Dvds will continue on rear screen, even without modification. I agree with you, the standard unit is excellent. I use mostly streamed radio via Bluetooth, as I have unlimited data. I've thought many times of replacing headunit, but there are far easier ways to add satnav, such as a replacement digital mirror that has either android with DVR, or android auto and carplay functionality. You can even use as adaptor that connects to the rain sensor to provide power, so you don't need to route wires and mess about with fuses
  3. Here - its in japanese, so you need to either use an online pdf translator, or use google translate on your phone. http://fsm.japanclassic.ru/toyota/2002.5_7a037_alphard_anh1,mnh1/x339/index4.html
  4. Id say the black switch is for those aftermarket LED footwell lights. Why they didnt just reuse the existing loom, or retrofit the correct LEDs from the higher speced vehicles blows my mind.
  5. Check these codes: https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/genuine/unit?c=Toyota&ssd=%24*KwGYrL2I0uLz6NDAxoO8pMDU9PPt1MXs1dGJw5CJ9o-Gic-Mycmc1N7FyerQjs2amcOQn4CPzMLIjMnf2Z6bnY-GicXA0cfDkp-VlZ-a7oyOg5fDz-zWiMjPjMndw52an5-Zm46C09-I3omWjYj77fyysMOGi47AyYmWjtG6puKZnOGH--r6orbDhouO28mJlo7RydGb_I6BionKx5ff24qS0QAAAACq5yQU%24&vid=0&cid=4&uid=332495&q=
  6. you could buy the russian/chinese spec stalks, they were reversed due to left hand drive. In fact, discovering the russian stalks is what led me down the path of getting an upgraded light stalk that had front AND rear fog light switches on it. if you havr the toyota EPC software, you can pull the correct part numbers by searching for the chassis codes GGH20L, ATH20L, ANH20L instead of GGH20W, ANH20W and ATH20W
  7. did they actually diagnose the fault, or stick a wet finger in the air?
  8. there is an aftermarket box that plugs in to the obd port, that will auto fold mirrors and close windows when you lock doors
  9. It's unlikely you have auto tilt, then, unfortunately. do you have auto fold mirrors? when locking/unlocking? It is interesting to know how these functions are linked, as the documentation is all in japanese
  10. looking at the wiring diagrams, it seems to be added to alphards that have auto retract mirrors on the 10 series - although it may have been an option. on the 20 series, there are two looms, one has an additional 4 wires for a horizontal and vertical hall sensor, and additional wires for the retract motor, this function can also be tested by manually pushing the glass out of position when everything is switched off, when you turn on the ignition, the mirror corrects itself.
  11. Do you have memory driver seat? (The panel with 1, 2, 3 mounted on the door)? The auto tilt relies on the vertical hall sensor on the mirror that is part of the memory setting functions.
  12. Depends on if you prefer to cruise at 60, or 70 and the time of day. A303 has sections at 40, 50 and 60mph, whereas M4/M5 is 70 except if there are closures.
  13. 350G adds electric driver/passenger seat. 350G premium adds above, plus basic electric middle row. 350GL as above, except the middle row are fully electric, with heating, and ottomans.
  14. All about the seats, basically. http://en.japanclassic.ru/booklets/42-toyota-alphard-2008-anh20-ggh20.html
  15. It is an antenna port, on that model in not so sure, it could be tv (on the MD units, a TV box was fitted under passenger seat)
  16. In 2010, they incorporated the tv tuner inside the headunit, the earlier one has the green connector for the external tv box
  17. You have a 2008/2009 unit with minidisc player?
  18. I bought a battery monitor (search for bm2 or bm6, online) It record the cranking voltage/current at each start, and the charging rate and state of charge. It will notify you if abnormal discharging occurs. Connects via bluetooth, or you can buy a version that has a solar powered display to sit on the dash/windscreen Useful to keep tabs on the condition of the battery.
  19. On my head unit I count 6 antenna input plus GPS input. 2 antenna in spoiler for tv 2 on rear windows FM and Am 1 windscreen for telematics/sos/gbook(toyota wireless network) Total overkill.
  20. 20 series tv antennas x2 are fitted inside the rear spoiler!
  21. https://www.opieoils.co.uk/search.aspx?search=denso wiper blade DENSO codes are DUR-065R (26") driver side DU-040(16") passenger side And DRB-040 rear.
  22. For ah10, you need 26" and 16" for front, 16" rear That's the sizes from factory. Some people fit 28, but you risk hitting edge of glass.
  23. And loads of info, pdf and videos of how to change the blades etc. Who would have thought so much info for a wiper https://www.nwb.co.jp/product_rain/index.html Interestingly, Denso and Nippon are merged, so all Toyota wipers out of factory are from this company.
  24. If you want rubbers only, these are the codes for purchasing via amazon etc https://www.nwb.co.jp/sch/search.php?pg=step3&car=アルファード&yomi=ア&maker=トヨタ
