Anyone else have this on their Alphard? I collected car from dealer yesterday, didnt know it had this, it was only when I took the kids out for a 1st drive at night that we were suddenly greeted by an illuminated animated Alphard logo on the step and blue ground illumination! I only have it on the pavement/passenger side -would love to know if aftermarket or OEM to get for drivers side too.

Hey - try this youtube video - this dude will provide the code for free (I have seen an android app that charges £9, and other people charging up to £70) All he asks is to Like and Subscribe and leave your 16digit code in the comment - i hope this helps

Rojie - I have v16.20.23 - I bought it because it wa the cheapest option to program a new key (Smart start) It is also able to do diagnosis - I will grab some screenshots once I have hooked it up.

Interesting - I have a registered copy of Techstream - under advanced options is a 'unlock navi screen' button. I do not know what this does, but becausr the navi headunits are connected to the canbus, it may be possible to overide the lock via techstream? this may be why you are quoted £70 to unlock I cannot test this, because I do not hve that head unit - where are you based? if that is not revealing too much information

I've not fitted one, but there are kits available: e.g. https://www.towsure.com/toyota-alphard-5-door-mpv-2002-2007-flange-towbar They offer DIY and fitting service too (I don't know what is a reasonable price) If its fully DIY route, you could use ebay, e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283568418838 These are for 1st gen Alphard, but chassis is same I believe, or you can get specifically for a 2nd Gen from same sources.

After any adjustments to the tracking, make sure to disconnect the battery for a few seconds in order to reset the VSC (skid control) computer

Looks like this on glass (circled in red)

Looking at the schematics - the aerial runs to back of dash and travels up the A pillars following the rear washer hose, before headed to back of car - antenna must be on rear glass or rear passenger side glass

I think both my front seats have a bunch of factory fitted amps to power the 18speaker sound system I too would like some aux battery, as I travel for work and need to occasionally use laptop etc. The engine bay is a lot more packed than my older Regius, which had the possibility to fit two regular sized batteries. Im thinking some custom made Li-Ion battery pack I can install behind one of the side panels in the rear, or in the 1st aid kit cubby at the back may be the best for my needs.

Welcome! I too have moved from Regius - I would not have jumped ship, but my poor Regius Windtourer is not ULEZ compliant (Bizzare, as the yearly emissions test pass to a better standard to some vehicles that do pass ULEZ requirement) Nice to have you onboard.

fit a remote controlled motor to the lowering bolt! not sure if they exist, but given all the other extras for the alphard, i'd be surprised if one doesnt exist! On a serious note, make sure to regularly grease the sliding bolt, on my old Regius, the thread completly oxidised, I had to remove wheel by letting out air, and using the jack to remove the tension on the hook.

For the 20 series, I have this:

aerial is usually integrated into glass, either the left side windscreen or in the sunroof (if fitted)

the 'c' rating for the interior could be artifically low if the car was reviewed prior to a decent valet!

i'll dump this here - Its what I have for resetting the windows, and also how to use key/fob to open/close all windows:

Hi Rojie, I am not in the trade - I should be taking ownership of an Alphard within the next few weeks, and thought I would get as much information as possible before I start tinkering! This information does come from technician training material - there is more info related to other aspects of the electronics, such as resetting keyfobs, resetting windows after battery change, the TEMS system etc.

Did you resolve this? if not, I have these instructions:
