The connector k is an input to the headunit. The signal out to the rear screen is void connector c I think. Send me a pm with an email address, so I can forward a scan of the Japanese wiring. The English versions you can find online are based on export models of the 20 series, as used in Russia, hongkong, etc, they usually had lower spec headunit/amplifiers

You have a copy of the CDROM? There are two schematics, based on premium sound (18 speaker) or super live sound (11 speaker) If you have 2008 >2010 you will have a green connector on back, as the Japanese TV tuner connected to this. 2010 > onwards has the TV tuner built in to headunit by removing the minidisc player

SHIFTER ILLUMINATION
Chris.ac replied to dave murrell's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
The numbers/letters on the shifter should be illuminated. The bezel around the shifter is not, that's an AliExpress/Amazon.jp mod. The device nearest rear view mirror is for auto windscreen wipers, it's a rain detector. ETC, useless in this country, can be removed, would be interested to see if they connected it to anything up top or if it has it's own wire run to fuse box. Furthest unit is dash cam, obviously. -
Rear screen will be controllable from the headunit, if it's the official Toyota one still fitted. Not sure those luxury model seats are capable of going further back; check near the rear of the seat for a removable panel, on earlier models a panel hid a lever that allowed the centre seats to be pushed closer together, and allowed them to slide back further avoiding the tyre wells. But it looks like your seats are unable to be pushed closer due to the pull out table.

Fuse for Front Heater control
Chris.ac replied to SeanGDawson's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
sorry, late to the party. looks like you sorted it - 20 year old panel finally packed in it seems! -
the mode button works with the original head unit and swaps it between FM/AM/CD/AUX etc, its basically like pressing the physical buttons on the headunit in sequence

Chris.ac replied to Merlow2014's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
the bulb types are listed on the top of the headlamp casing, embossed in to the plastic. no need to remove to see what they are. -
Smart Key Fob
Chris.ac replied to Waspie's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
You will need someone with Techstream, which is EVERY toyota dealer because its their official software - they will blow smoke about imports not being supported. If you have a laptop, you can buy a VCI cable from ebay for about £30 - this will allow you to program the key yourself, which is a pretty simple procedure, as long as you have 1 working fob already. -

All Alphard Vellfire Battery Specs
Chris.ac replied to Teekay's topic in Toyota Alphard (08-15) Technical Guides
6 months before I had to use it, started up first press of button. Same battery used to jump my son's car that was not used over the uni term. State of charge is still around 80% I have a bt battery monitor on both cars and the spare. Once a week I walk past and grab the current status. -
thinking about it, the chip should not matter, if it is wired correctly, as the data into the chip is the original source that is shared to the abs and steering, cruise and engine ecu. your binding brakes are more the concern, as this would definitely affect the ABS speed sensors, it may well be the steering ecu responding as if your wheels have locked and you are in a skid.

All Alphard Vellfire Battery Specs
Chris.ac replied to Teekay's topic in Toyota Alphard (08-15) Technical Guides
nice, i have a 75D23L installed, max I have seen online in a D23L size was 95A (95D23L) - moving to D26L may be the way to go. At moment, I just carry a spare battery from my old 3L Diesel in the back with jumpleads, just in case. -
all 4 wheel speed sensors are fed in, it may be thinking you are in a skid condition. You really need to connect up diagnostics, techstream preferably, you can then monitor all 4 wheels and the steering angles. Try turning off the VSC (long hold the 'skid' button to the right of steering wheel, whilst parking brake is on with engine running, see if this makes a difference.

2002/2003 Alphard 2.4L : Techstream Error Code 0xA1050308
Chris.ac replied to Geralt's topic in Toyota Alphard Servicing
those early alphards were based on the granvia, there is not really a canbus to be spoken of, so not much can be accessed via techstream beyond engine. any customisation would probably be accessible via the toyota head unit, or voodoo turning of the ignition key whilst holding a button or flicking a lightstalk. -
All Alphard Vellfire Battery Specs
Chris.ac replied to Teekay's topic in Toyota Alphard (08-15) Technical Guides
the D refers to width and height, not diesel. 80D23L = Performance score (based on capacity and cranking(80) Width/height (173mm x 204mm) length (230mm) left terminal -ve (L) Try to get the performance score as high as possible, the D23L part are important to ensure it fits in the battery holder and clamp.
