Anyone know gen 1 hybrid tail light?

i think I'm having the same problem, did you ever resolve this?

do they appear to flash a few times before cutting off? if so, the HID bulb has reached end of life, you could swap the bulbs between sides and see if the problem follows the bulb, or if it is still the passenger side cutting out, in which case it may be the ballast, loose or dirty connectors, even a fuse not fully seated.

they would go out after a few minutes, I did change the bulbs and problem solved. 

quite a few hybrid alphard ex cabs hit the japanese auctions with 300-500k km

What was the approximate all in cost ?

With the headunit and harnesses… about $1600CAD or so. 

Hey everyone, 

I successfully did a full radio upgrade in my 2007 MZG, it was hard to find any info on how to, so i hope this helps someone in the future. 

overall it was fairly easy. I used the beatsonic harnessess for the entire install.

I used the SLX-131 from car audio express in the UK, if you get the steeringwheel package it already comes all wired up and ready to use, they also include the radio side adaptor which you configure yourself with the guide included, you do not need to buy any extra radio side hardness. This kit also came with the dash kits and everything needed. Beat-Sonic SLX-131 Audio Adapter for Toyota Alphard (caraudioexpress.co.uk)

Wiring of the SLX-131 was very easy, its all plug and play, just get the right plug connectors, and everything plugs in. You only use the front L & R speakers from the radio side harness. You dont need to hook up the Ant Rem either unless you have a remote antenna. 

For the front and rear cameras you will need BC1 and BC15. These two kits install under the passenger seat, there is an ECU there with a 40 pin connector. You will need to run ACC+ and two RCA lines to under the seat. I was lucky enough that the car had previously had the TV module installed under the passenger seat so I had ACC power already available. You will hook up the BC1 in the front camera configuration, with the purple going to red. I ran the two RCA cables just under the floor mat to under the glove box and then up through the dash to the new radio headunit.

I used the Pioneer DMH1500NEX headunit for the replacement radio, overall it works fairly well, but doesn't have wireless carplay, and they use their own OS which is fairly limited for videos. It is Web Link compliant, so I can watch YouTube and app store videos on the rear and front displays. 

The rear display also is working, but with this head unit is fairly limited on what i can play. I would definitely recommend getting something with an android OS for more video flexibility if thats what you want. 

You may also want to consider a unit with HDMI input as well if you want to have more video input options. 

I will upload a video on to YouTube at some point as well. 

hey there, I just finished installing a new headunit into my 2007 MZG, with theatre surround, front and rear camera, and rear entertainment system, 

I was able to retain everything, including the steering wheel controls. 

It wasnt cheap though, needed the BeatSonic SLX 131 w/ steering wheel, BC1, and BC15, harnesses.

make sure the headunit you pick to replace with has reverse camera, additional camera input, and Video output. 

hey everyone,

I have a 2007 MZG with surround and rear entertainment, front and rear cameras, I will be upgrading the head unit.

So far i have the BeatSonic SLX 131, BC1, and BC15 harnesses, and for the head unit i'll be using the Alpine iLX-W650 7" Mech-Less Receiver for the head unit. 

are there any install guides available? i know lots of this should be plug and play but i do believe I will need to tap the speed sensor, reverse, and possibly some others.

any advice as well before i start?

Please, just type D2S in to amazon.co.uk

 

You can get a pair of bulbs for under £20, you really dont need OEM toyota bulbs at that ridiculous price.

 

In my 20series I bought bulbs costing £16, perfectly fine and brighter than the ones they replaced (I chose a whiter light freq)

Great, that’s what i was hoping to hear. I ordered a pair off Amazon. Cheers. 

i have a 2007 alphard with Active front lights, I believe the bulb is the D2S xenon, 

the toyota part number is 90981-20017

when looking for this bulb they are about $150-$250 USD online for genuine toyota bulb

can i just replace with any D2S bulb instead which are a lot cheaper? 

So I’m having what sounds like a similar issue. My passenger headlight comes on when turned on but eventually goes out. When I turn my headlights off and on it comes on again and then eventually goes out. 

Just got my 2007 MNH15 from Japan. These are under the front passenger seat. I have no idea what they are for. Any ideas?

One is a 3.5mm stereo Jack, the other 4 I have no idea. 

thanks for the replies, the adaptive cruise seems to be the only option my alphie doesnt have, It does have the sonar already, wasnt sure if anyone had attempted to add the adaptive cruise before, has regular cruise. 

I know there are instructions for adding cruise control, but how easy would it be to add adaptive cruise control on a 2007 series 10 MZG?

My channel name is cuttothechase.  Have a look at this head unit. It cost about 140 pounds from aliexpress and was plug and play.

 

were you able to retain the factory rear and front cameras as well as the screen in the roof of the van?
