ANH 20 Vellfire. 8 seater to 7 seat swap wanted
Chris.ac replied to RXtoAL's topic in Toyota Alphard Used Parts & Accessories
need new rails, with the sound proofing panels, thermal under carpets an top carpet. It can be done, but not just a simple seat swap -
Door / Tailgate bleep
Chris.ac replied to Philllx's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
Correct, the newer version would be useful if you had a 30 series. I tried both versions, no new options, so don't waste your time trying to get the 64bit drivers working etc. -
Even the manual key has a small chip in it that activates when key is inserted in to ignition barrel (like wireless charging) the ignition barrel has the reader for the chip in the key. Another thing I have seen, is some owners 'hide' the immobiliser fob/key in the car, sometimes under the drivers side plastic step.

Wait. You have no buttons on key and no other remote for the central locking, etc? And the battery you replaced was the main 12v car battery?

Audio stopped working
Chris.ac replied to VirtualGuy's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
Could you try the procedure here: http://zatonevkredit.ru/repair_manuals/raw_content/AWI4PXGCrzlLPWuuVT9A Open in chrome browser and you can use the built in translation from Russian to English. Interestingly, if the system detected a short circuit, it disables the speakers. Have you made any modifications to wiring? -

I should say, the supplied techstream software - may be newer, but is not necessary, as the ecu in the alphards will be pre 2015 and work fine with the older installation in the virtual machine -

using the virtual machine copy from that link, it will create a 32bit installation, all preconfigured. -

Chris.ac replied to VirtualGuy's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
no sounds at all, even menu beeps? do you have 18speaker system with external amp? (18speakers you will have a center dashboard speaker and 6 roof speakers) May be the amplifier fuse has blown. -

Alphard 3.5 insurance in the UK
Chris.ac replied to kully's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
I just went with Mark Richards, I got frustrated with the various nonsense from other insurers e.g. alphard, but only 2.4lt or vellfire with others but no alphard. You'd think they would all align their database the way they continuously prattle on about sharing data. It all seems underhanded, like they are deliberately trying to miss-sell, in order to slopey shoulders any claims. -
From what I recall, roof racks from Thule were discontinued once the 30 series was launched, but kits from japan and Australia are still available - I think the load rate was up to 75kg, so as long as the tent box is under that you should be fine, once stationary you can multiply by 5 for occupant weight. In uk many are converted with pop top roofs, usually the 10 series. Maybe another route is to find a similar chassis, the 10 series shared Granvia/hiace body type. I have the datasheets for the safety crumple zones in the roof, but nothing about max loading unfortunately.

Sorry, its just that its not a thing in Japan, same with towing caravans, so JDM vehicles tend not to have these values available. You *May* be able to find these values on Russian/China/UAE official export documents (Toyota made 20 series available in these regions), I would try looking at toyota official certification for external supplier parts, but it is difficult tracking it down, as most of this is from 2008.

Using app "caura" (I have on android) It will show you which emissions zones you are good in, for Birmingham, Bristol, Bath, Leeds, London etc. Also can be used to remind of tax, mot, insurance, and can be used to pay congestion charge

Can't remember the frequency. I bought from this guy https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/archie1

Yes, the ebay seller is a decent chap, will even send you software via download if you don't have cdrom drive. installing the drivers for the cable can be tricky depending on the version of Windows you have, so to mame it easy, id recommend the virtual machine version from the other link I posted, although the software the seller provides should include the latest drivers too.

Workshop manuals for 1st Gen (holy Grail?)
Chris.ac replied to Chris.ac's topic in Toyota Alphard Technical Guides
It's back online. I downloaded an offline copy, it's possible to translate it all, by primary focus is my 20series workshop Manuals at moment (online 20 series is for the non JDM exported alphards, practically identical except for audio /media system) -
Reverse camera laterally inverted on 2007 Alphard
Chris.ac replied to shelly758's topic in General Chat
I'm pretty sure the diagnostics mode allows you to reset the cameras. Look for the thread 'Holy grail' for link to 10series workshop manual. Its in Japanese, but if you persevere its a really good source. -
I think link is still valid, if you have a relatively modern laptop, use the virtual machine set up(instructions at the link), it's a walk in the park, as it's all configured for you. Edit. Just checked. Links still work. Vci adaptor = £40. The techstream software is included, but simpler to download from the link on the Toyota ihud page, it was last updated a month ago.

According to the doc I have access to, it's a standard lead acid 12v battery, it due not need to be too large in capacity, as the petrol aspect of the engine is started via the HV battery pack The 20 series uses the Synergy hybrid system as on the previa/estima, so it's imagine the same battery type.
