MonsterS

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

red to reverse and f-cam is front camera.

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.

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?

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.

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?

yeah, i think i'm just doing it wrong tbh. not had time latley to try again

very long winded. I bought a book on my alphard but still cant get the motion locking to kick in

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.

Have you tried contacting toyota? as sometimes it is the same parts across many vehicles. Or even a breakers yard.

Thule do them. i would strongly suggest calling your local thule distributor and asking.

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.

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.

Toyota can order them in

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)...

Then unlock with the key manually, climb in the back and unlock the door lock by hand and open.

Hi Darren, Check the parts lookup url's we have in servicing section. I would check there. To be honest i'd order from toyota direct or ask "Ben Hau" who's on here.

We've got a 3L, about 300 miles ish to a tank of fuel driving around town. long trips maybe an extra 50 miles or so.

on our 3L we get between 14mpg to 30mpg depending on how i drive and if its town driving/motorway (motorway better mpg)
