Just bought from Amazon the owners manual in English- should anyone need any information relating to anything within the manual

Warrington   (  lucky to have to car sale garages within 4 miles that sells Alphards  and Gastech that does Lpg converstions and services)

Hi I don't have a rear dash cam  but for the front I use a Mobius  it was originally designed for use on a drone , it has great quality and costs around £50 .And instead of  hard wiring I run it off a small charger( last or over 8 hours be fore needing recharging) I use a small square of Velcro  and fix it to the inside of the passenger sun visor , saves wires dangling  down.   Maybe not what you may want but hopefully may be useful to others who want a simple fix

As Jilly says, you need a key blank (which includes the transponder) that is 4D67

 

Otherwise, imho, without that 4D67 chip you are wasting your time and money.

 

I bought a key (£14, ebay) and had it programmed locally by a specislist automotive locksmith. £85.

He also converted all my other keys to master keys.

He mentioned you cannot program from a key that is not a master.

 

Worked first time, and every time since for me.

 

hi Jilly,  i took the little black transformer out of the blank key and inserted in its little slot in the key I had cuit from the master, along with electronic  inners that work the opening and closing  buttons etc . did notice the red indicator  light on the key was very dim - suspect i need a new battery , whether or  not that may help -but suspect in need to find how  to program it 

I bought the the key  from keymoon uk - sent them a photo of my original key  and they cut it from that , returned in a 4way ( no inners) key - turns the engine on but need the chio to start it - -cost of the cut key £14 .Bought a chip on Ebay put the chip into the new key but didn't start the engine - I assume I now need to have it programmed ??

thank you

Hi when I bought my vehicle it only had on ignition key and two smart door lock fobs ( thanks to a member on here he gave great instructions on how to program them)  ..I bought a key on line and it was cut using a photo I took and submitted  of my original key-     When received to day ,it opens the doors manually and when inserted into the ignition it turns all the systems on but the engine wont start  ?    inserted my original key and engine starts first time.   Can anyone shed any light on why the replacement key doesn't work ( its a key only no circuit board inner)

to be honest took me a while if you notice there are two latches one in front and one at the back. i moved the sear as far forward and it engaged the first latch   the back one wouldnt engage to lock the sear clip - I  just used the screwdriver to prize it up - the seat then moved on the runner - before that the runner was out of line with the runner on the opposite side .

Follow this to the 'T' and it should work no problem with the smart fobs to open and close the doors (It looks convoluted, but worked for me on 1st attempt)

Before starting make sure you have no mobile phone in your possession/close by.

1. Sit in the drivers seat - Driver door open, key out of ignition 

2. Within 5 seconds, place key in ignition and take it out x 2 (Do not turn key)

3. Within 40 Seconds, close the drivers door and open x 2

4. Put key back in ignition (Do not turn key) and take it out

5. Within 40 Seconds, close the drivers door and open x 2

6. Key back in ignition and leave it in

7. Close drivers door

8. Turn key in ignition (Without starting car)

9. Turn key back and take key out of the ignition

(The door locks should automatically do a cycle - If nothing happens, you've done something wrong and will have to restart the re-programming again from the start)

Once the door locks have did their cycle :

10. Within 40 seconds press lock and unlock buttons on fob together for 2 secoonds

11. Then press lock button on fob for 2 seconds (The door locks should do a cycle again, if they do not complete a cycle, repeat step 10 and 11 again. If the door locks cycle twice, it also means that the re-programming has failed so repeat steps 10 and 11 again)

 

Hi had to smart door locks with the Alphard followed your instructions  (2 attempts) and it worked great- just ordered a spare key from Keymoon uk ( sent photo of key) cost £13.56 on receipt will see if it works and will put it on a key ring with one of the smart door lock fobs and keep as spare

After having one of the third row seat back down after stowing it won’t slide forward or back on track 

proper jammed any suggestion most welcome to help resolve 

Hi had the same problem with mine when I bought it,I wondered why the garage had the back left seat folded up. I found that the back latch was stuck, I used a screwdriver to flick it up - then pushed the seat all the way forward to click onto first runner and and the seat engaged and the runner went back .i

cheers

just insured the wife as main driver on the Alphard with Admiral, she has 4 years no claims, protected no claims - premium £307.31

Hi all, just bought an Alphard G   55k  on 2007 plate. Haven't took possession yet as I have paid for wax underseal,  speedo to be changed to mph and a new sat nav / reversing camera to be fitted.  Soon as I get it will book in for full service and have it checked over.
