Looking for a new head unit that does everything
I have Joying 15 inch screen. As far as I know it does everything. It works with rear camera and steering wheel controls. It can show a different screen on the rear as it does on the front, back can watch netflix, from can have satnav. It fills the large dash perfect - They do smaller models 15.1 Inch Big Screen Double Din Car Stereo

Can anyone identify this power cable
its a micro USB plug shape although cant really judge the size. Depending on what it connected to, it probably has the same pins inside, but sometimes they change the size so you have to use there cables and accessories. A bit like Apple with the lightning connector, before they finally used USBC like the rest of the world Why do you need to know?

ODB2 settings on Torque App
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?

Finally fitted
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

Brake Pad recommendations
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

Wheel Alignment
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.

Deactivate folding door mirrorsa
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

Blown something up - instrument cluster dead
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

Vellfire/Alphard digital dashboard cluster
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

Issue with reversing lights and displays
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

Vellfire/Alphard digital dashboard cluster
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

Wiring Identification.
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

Reverse camera problem
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

Reverse camera problem
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?

Annoying cable bugging me
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

Annoying cable bugging me
I have a cable behind my head unit thats really bugging me. It has four cables, Red, Red, Blue and Black. I have tested with a meter and one cable is the reverse signal to put the head unit rear camera on. Another is the brake signal, to stop you watching videos while driving, the other two seem to be and earth and 12v, but I cant see any point for them as the head unit feed is on a different plug. Im kinda thinking its some sort of signal voltage but i can see any voltage change. Does anybody have an idea what these two wires are actually for because its starting to drive me mad

I have problem In my toyota vellfire 2011 problem is speed m
I would get a bluetooth ODB II scaner and the free car scanner app. A lot less the £400. Run the app and driver the car with it connected. See what speed it reads. If it reads different to the speedo then you know its the speedo, if not then you know its the speed sensor. At least then you can also read all the ECU fault codes which will point you in the right direction Also why would a service help the problem, like and oil and filter change will fix a sensor. It sounds like the garage you are using has seen you as an easy payday. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235954066700?_skw=veepeak+obd&itmmeta=01JM3238C57G9003MPE66D2Q48&hash=item36eff5550c:g:iKIAAOSwm4Jnq4N4&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1fffK0W76y%2BQc55vsiKQACTPm3k8wQl1svxC4C2sJMf7UuNRgWa5X0Q1YqK7DExYHiflToEUnjBUbBt0QKdP09AWOYtFylmKQ%2BMNkzNNc2B8lGvSAYftoDm%2BhsiFajG%2FXMUq39ESK%2FINijBmdDfohaO6S%2BsOr5IpR88HK6SyA0oGuXFXgrKX2LlQKhJuOLaZBovFxa75W1GKUutbRWtkVZ5y8d%2FUejpDzUpLCGlDwR2ZkoFchexM68e9B5gk4GdamU%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5qGjeKgZQ

Canbus android Head Unit
Hi I looked into getting Canbus information to the head unit but there is no signal in the wiring behind it. It looks in your photo that you are taking it from behind the dashboard which makes sense as all the data is shown on the dash. I think you can also get it from the ODB socket, in fact I bought a cable a long time ago from AliExpress that came with an ODB plug. I never tried it
