  1. Take a look at Tegiwa, I believed they have a few items for AH20.
  2. You can try search for ITS Autos Milton Keynes, they are Toyota specialist and can work on Alphard.
  3. Thanks for all the arrangements and a great event. The kids keeps saying they love the cars with tables. 😂
  4. Would love to join but children are not well at the moment, will have to see if they can recover by Sunday.
  5. Do you still have any details/links on the parts? As I wanted to add the lever to my chairs too, thanks.
  6. It looks like the same unit I have got, it was fitted by the dealer. It was a bit slow to boot and response was a bit sluggish, but all in all it does what I need, Spotify, kids videos, bluetooth music and phone calls.
  7. Well... basically as the car feels like a Van to drive, high center of gravity and body roll when cornering, etc... Strengthening the chassis should help with the body roll and make it a bit more stable, so it feels more like driving a normal car in theory.
  8. Looks like some kind of aftermarket chassis strengthening. To improve the strength and handle of the car.
  9. Hi, while we are on the topic of rear view mirror, mine had became loose. Wonder have anyone experienced the same or have tried to remove those plastic covers which covers the fixing? As I don't want to force it and break anything, thanks.
  10. This is the installation picture of similar system, pretty simple. Is does not do anything else apart from changing the throttle response.
  11. Normally they are plugged inline the gas pedal sensor port which is on the gas pedal, normally they are just plug and play so you might want to check there.
  12. Going back to the post, I have driven a Gen3 Alphard when holiday in Japan. In my opinion it is much more modern and refined then Gen2, you get better chassis, seats, technologies, looks (personal), etc... The only downside is the cost, I think they start from £30000 in the UK, where a decent late year low milage Gen2 maybe around £20000. If your budge allows then get Gen3, otherwise Gen2 is still very good. If you search TM Trading which I think have a London showroom, you can probably have a look around and get test drive, etc... and experience yourself. They should have a few Gen3 Alphard/Vellfire.
  13. By the way, why do you want to change the head unit? As I heard the original theater sound system is actually quite good.
  14. If I am correct the theater sound system are connected from the Toyota head unit -> amp under front passenger seat -> speakers. If you want to retain all the speakers, you need to figure out how/which connector/pin connects the head unit to the amp and how does it work. Or I would assume you can get one of those adapter. If you just replace the head unit and connect the ISO adapters, I don't think you will get any sound. I have a small Toyota amp which powers the rear speakers, and there were no sounds from the rear speakers on the aftermarket head unit, so I have to run new speaker cables from the head unit to the speakers bypassing the amp. This thread might help you
