  1. I have a bluetooth ODB2 reader that works perfect on Car Scanner, but I want to try and connect to the Torque Pro App. Ive found a code on Youtube for a ANH10, but I need the code for an ANH20 as it seems to be different. Has anybody had any luck finding this or have the app working?
  2. Finally got round to fitting my 15.1 inch screen. Being a large vehicle with a big dash, I think it fills it up nicely
  3. I need new front brake pads for my 2009 2.4l Toyota Alphard. They are on ebay but unknown makes. Auto Jap Spares does a set with discs, but unknown make and i dont need discs. JDM car parts do pads, but again no make referenced. Only place ive found is is Autodoc.co.uk which has Brembo plus other makes. Anyone with some other recommendations. Ive also see one place that has two different sizes listed
  4. Im having new tyres fitted to Willo, my trusty 2009 Vellfire, 2.4l ANH20 and I was thinking of having a 2 or 4 wheel alignment. I know the garage is not going to have a clue of what to set the angles to because I will get the usual "its and import". Does anybody know the measurements so I can let them know.
  5. If you get an OBD reader, you can get the free Carscanner app. This will let you alter this and other setting like being able to close and open windows on the remote, light sensetivity. I bought a Veepeak OBDCheck BLE OBD2 and it works great
  6. There are 3 fuse boxes. I fitted a head unit and it had a short inside while I was driving. I had some of your problems when that happened. The gear selector indicator is on a fuse in the passenger footwell. You will also notice that there is no beep and even if you get the head unit working, there will be no reversing camera. That is all controlled by the gear selector fuse, which is why the doors wont open. it does not know if it is in park or not. The fuse for the head unit is in the engine bay fuse box if I remember rightly. My guess is that there are other fuses that have blown at the same time. Also check your alternator after. Mine packed up at the same time. A recon unit is available on ebay if that is the case. Rule number 1 when fitting a head unit. Disconnect the battery lol
  7. My car came with a 7 inch Sony touchscreen unit. It had DAB radio, MP3 player and Android Auto / Car Play but the connection was a bit flacky. I chanced it for a 10 inch Android Unit with a replacement trim. This was when these units was mainly AliExpress. It lasted a month until the touch screen failed and ended going back. I used the Sony unit till last year when I decided to give an Android unit another go, this time going for a more reputal dealer, not AliExpress. I bought an Eonon 10 inch double din floating unit. A few months later it went really slow and would take about 10 minutes to connect to the GPS. They replaced it with another unit which would show the randomly show the Google Map full screen but really zoomed in and then the keys and touchscreen would not work. I spent more time on these two units resetting them. I actually kept a sim card remover in the car. They then replaced it with the newer model that the reversing camera did not work and the screen would flicker on and off
  8. There is a fuse in the passenger side fuse box. Controls the reversing switch. I had the same problem, no beep when reversing, no gear indication on the dash. I went through all the fuses and found it in there
  9. They are base on the android head units. Considering the quality of android head units around, i don't think i would trust it, but i'm on about my 4th head unit. Others may have had better luck and might say different
  10. Hey Tony. I ordered a new cable off AliExpress that has a lead that plugs into the OBD reader. I haven't tried it yet cause I am upgrading to a 15 inch head unit. I have Raise canbus decoder which should all work together to give me the extra features. There is a post on this forum of somebody who tapped into the cables going to the speedo unit, because all the info goes to there aswell, but im not brave enough to do that. If the cable doesnt work, i can just unplug lol
  11. Yeah, I think I need to take it all apart and check the cables because I got in the next day and it worked fine, then the following day it failed again. Could be a look connection. The other idea I had. I heard that the camera changes brightness depending on light around. Mine never did this, at night time it was useless, so I'm guessing the sensor has gone
  12. My trusty 16 year old 230,000 mile Vellfire has developed a little fault today with the rear camera. Its been working fine, but today it flashed bright and then went really dark. You can still see the picture but its like when a TV backlight has gone. Has anybody has this before, is it fixable or is it a replacement part. Im assuming its fitted to more then just the Alphard / Vellfire. If so then it should be available from a scrappy or even Toyota. Anyone have any fixes before I go an buy a new one?
  13. Your choices are down to what you want. Search the forum and there will be loads of answers as its a common question. What functionality you have at the end of it depends on what you chose
  14. This one was not taped up and had been used. As I said it has the reverse line and the brake line in the same connector. I cant see why it would have another 12v power and earth in that cable when the unit would draw power from the main power connector which is why it is bugging me so much
