    none. However Ben Hau https://www.facebook.com/538931818 Does a android play/apple play upgrade of the exsisting unit so you get to keep everything and have the ability to use radio, phone etc on it. worth speaking to him.

    Not sure in Edinburgh but if you ever go near birmingham then there is Ben Hau, (or ben alphard) who does everything you need doing.

    Welcome, and i've replied to you via thread and pm'd you Any questions let me know. Which model is it? 3L or 2.4 hybrid?
  4. MonsterS
    They can do all car problems. vans etc... They are all very capable and if they need specific items they have all the tools to look at the alphard on the computer system. Also i've printed the workshop manual off for the 3L for them. ABS, servicing, exhaust's, unsealing, cam belts, timing chains, mot etc. they do it all under one roof.

    Ring mark richards insurance they are fairly good and know alphards really well.

    red to reverse and f-cam is front camera.
  7. MonsterS
    not sure on most. But tyres we have the reinforced tyres and they do the job fine. but this is a van unconverted.

    behind the glove box is one location. you might need to pull the glove box out completly to get at it.

    It is the "Hybrid System Warning light" Could be because you let the batteries go flat. I would suggest getting a code reader or having toyota look at it as it may be one battery has died or at the very least it needs the error codes clearning.

    Head over to the facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/alphardmart/?fref=nf they can do inline upgrade of exsisting units.
  11. MonsterS
    There are a few choices, but most of all I would seek out a recommended installer. However if you want to DIY the job them head over to the Alphard market group on facebook and they can convert the exsisting unit to android or apple play for you.

    What type? 3.0l or 2.4? hybrid or non hybrid?
  13. MonsterS
    Would be nice to know what system they use to convert as I've been trying with a raspberry pi but there are too many inputs to manually configure each section.

    Good to hear. I'll sticky this as some other people will have the same issue.
  15. MonsterS
    its called the kickdown. do you have it in D or 3? Kickdown will increase the rev's to the limit then change but if you've got it stuck in 3 then it cant go higher. because theres not gear to follow on from. If you have it in D then the kick down switch is not working and i suggest taking it to toyota to check out. as on full throttle it should still kick to the next gear.

    whats wrong?
  17. MonsterS
    yeah, i think i'm just doing it wrong tbh. not had time latley to try again
  18. MonsterS
    very long winded. I bought a book on my alphard but still cant get the motion locking to kick in
  19. MonsterS
    if its the original head unit you can't as these are made for japanese market only and therefore no english option. I use google translate on my phone to figure out everything. otherwise its a new head unit.
  20. MonsterS
    Have you tried contacting toyota? as sometimes it is the same parts across many vehicles. Or even a breakers yard.
  21. MonsterS
    Thule do them. i would strongly suggest calling your local thule distributor and asking.
  22. MonsterS
    Like any hybrid that batteries do not last forever. However some people have trouble because diagnostic's are a nightmare when it comes to hybrids. I've got a 3L petrol and very happy with it.
  23. MonsterS
    Might be worth checking which ones it fits as there are other vehicles that might also have the same backbox. they tend to use the same exhaust for several vehicles. try looking at the heliux and see if that fits.
  24. MonsterS
    Toyota can order them in
  25. MonsterS
    Best way is to take it to a dvla testing station and get them todo the emissions. (Make sure you take it for a long drive first to clear any grim from the system)...
