Arrived, looks not bad... let's see how it works shortly 😃

Put them on, telling from my eyes, probably 10%-20% brighter than stock HID. No complaint though, still using stock ballast and projector, so cannot expect huge improvement. 

No manufacturer info, I believe they (the model I posted) are all made by one company, just different retailers. 

You can get it on Aliexpress, serach series 20 alphard andriod headunit, plenty avaiable. 

If you are talking about the unit I posted, yes, 18 speakers works so and factory amp. Steering control works. For 08/09 model year with 270 camera, only reverse camera works. For 10+ model year that has 360 camera, all camera works. However, picture quality isn't very good with factory cameras, managable but not near HD quality. In terms of installation, plug and play. I've had it installed for about half a year, very happy with it. 

Get this one from aliexpress, comes with everything you will need. Works beautiful... 

I feel they are still very weak, at least on mine... I prefer HID over LED bulbs but cannot find a shop to do proper HID projector retrofit in my area. Still waiting for the LED bulbs to show up, hopefully they will be better... 

If you have HID projector then that's the wrong bulb. "R" means it's for reflector. All projector headlights should use "S" bulb. 

HID low beam D4S, I have a set on the way... high beam 9005 I believe.

I have these pages from a manual for a 2002 to 2008 Alphard which looks to have been translated from Russian. I don't know how much help they might be as they can be quite difficult to read.

It helps, thanks! 

Going to replace all shocks, does anyone has torque spec available? 

Thanks! 

Then question is where to put it? In a camper conversion it might be easy. 

Anyone looked into dual battery setup? I would like to watch some movies on roof tv while waiting, however don't want to worry about killing the battery.

No. Unless you hack the auto light option.

 

My solution was to fit dual colour led indicator bulbs. 

 

Light up constant white, and switch to amber when indicating. 

You can also write so that when your actual sidelights or dipped beans are switched on, they deactivate

 

Something like this

Great! This will do. 

OK, I will get a carscanner recommended OBD to start

Speaking of lighting.. Is there a "hidden" DRL option that can be activated on these JDM cars? 

I also found it's too sensitive, would like to change it too...  Does DashCommand app work? I have paid version already.

Thanks! I had the car on hoist yesterday installed some frame braces, looked everywhere while there but didn't figure it out. Guess I have to look harder! 

Anyone know the drain hose location under the car? Thanks...

Hello again, the condensate drain runs down the passenger side of the centre consul. It is part 38539 here http://www.catcar.info/toyota/?lang=en&l=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

 

Wow what a link. Anyway the sloshing noise wasn't from the Aircon but from a badly fitted visor in front of the camper roof which had filled with water. Sounded like it came from the dash so beware. Drilled a hole all good now.

 

So where is the drain located under the vehicle? I am trying to clean the AC evaporator. 

Make sense 👍

No, my OEM roof tv is working properly. I replaced it with a bigger screen then lost all sound. My guess is the sound system needs that roof tv board to work no matter what you have in the front (OEM or aftermarket).. 

Take apart OEM monitor, get the board, wrap in foam paper plug it back to the connectors 😃 only the board. That's how I get the sound back. And I swapped the headunit for an android system too..

Thanks for this information.

Do you have a Link to your Android Screen?

Does ist fit with the OEM connectors?

The White and blue plugs are checked and These are ok.

 

Maybe i can Change the Monitor with an used fully functional OEM one?

Do you think this ist an Idea?

I think you could try a funcional OEM monitor, but I am not 100% sure. 

The andriod roof tv doesn't connect to those two OEM connectors, that's why I got no sound when first installed. It's pretty much a stand alone unit, has two built in speakers. I believe you could run some wires get it connected to the OEM system but just seems too much trouble to make sense to me.

Hey Opelrsx,

 

Sorry for late reply.

 

I didnt manage to get it to work. Is your supplier using the same box or the bigger one with MOST capability? 

 

If your supplier showed that they could get it to work on their test vehicle, then they'll be able to show you how to connect.

 

Some notes on my side, i connected everything, but it seems we haven't get to activate the signal to turn on the front camera and side. My ANH20 has the button on the right side which to activate the camera on stock HU. But since the original HU replaced, the Park Asssist (PA) Unit didn't receive any signal to activate the camera hence we unable to get video footage.

 

At these that is what I suspect as the camera is controlling the signal to PA ECU.

 

Do contact your supplier and share some info so that I can test out on my end also. I still got the thing attached to my vehicle though.

I had a call with the unit factory tech last night. He said it doesn't work on OEM 270... only works on OEM 360. Does ANH20 had OEM 360 at all? He said 2012~2015 model year had 360 option instead of 270. I cannot confirm that... but anyways, I give up on that, at least reverse camera works, lol...  installed the unit this morning, it is pretty nice.

Does anyone habe an Idea?

I ready Something about Problems with the top Monitor and this can bei repaired.

Does anyone habe done this?

It's your roof monitor. I went through this when replaced it with a new andriod screen. There's a board in the OEM roof TV, it must be plugged back in the system to make sound working. I had to rip that board out plug it back in the system.

Check those two connections first, blue and white. 

If not, it must be this board faulty. 

Latest from China. It is very nice, plug and play install on 08-14 alphard/vellfire. 11.5inch 2k screen, steering wheel contorl works, factory JBL system works and supposedly 270 camera too. However I can only get the reverse camera to work, as soon as I plug in that decoder box all camera lost singal 😟 They did show me it works on their testing vechicles, but I couldn't figure it out...
