As for parts try amayama.com and put the vehicle details in. Find the part to get the number and then try ebay and other sites to see who else offers them.

Good morning all, I have a working reversing camera but it doesn't give a particularly wide view so I have been looking at others. The one that I have that works is this one (170° Car Front/Rear View Reverse Parking Camera Waterproof Night Vision Camera): I have tried two other ones, this (720P AHD Vehicle Rear View Reverse Camera 170 Degree Lens Night Vision Parking Assistance Camera CVBS Rear Camera HD Color Image): and (AHD 1080P Reversing Camera, Rear View Camera 360° Rotatable Metal Housing Universal Reverse Camera for Car 170° Wide Angle IP69K Waterproof Night Vision): I went for those as the video connector was the same (or close enough for the last one) so I expected the video to work but neither of these do, while the first one works fine. The ends in the car are these: The head unit is rather old by the looks of it: and the back of it has the expected tangle of wires: So this has more to do with video output types than anything else - is 'AHD' a new format that uses the same physical connectors or something? Can anyone tell me what camera features I should be looking for, or maybe the head unit replacement journey is about to happen? Any thoughts, cheers. Paul

Go to the link above (https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/toyota-japan/alphard/ANH15W/38248/body/7652) - make sure you put in your vehicle details so you get the right parts. To me it looks like those clips are part number 75397-58010 and are 1.44 each UKP.

Do you have a 2002 to 2008 or a 2013? Either way there are cleaning, polishing and sealing kits available if you are Ok with a bit of manual effort.

If it's a factory fitted unit have you tried amayama.com? Postage takes a while but if you put in your vehicle details it will tell you which part numbers you need.

I can't help with the Vellfire wide of things, and the fuseboard is a different layout to mine. However my front fogs are a 15A feed, so I would assume it's that one which isn't working. But that's not a factory-fitted addition :-) It is also a non-standard way of adding feeds. It looks like one side of the fuse has been cut away and a cable soldered to the end. I would like to think that both soldered ends are on the fuse-protected side (i.e. that should the fuse blow the original and the extra feed will stop) but I would have thought they would be on the same physical side for that to be the case. It will definitely be worthwhile finding out where they go, I would hope they are power feeds for two different bits of kit, at least the blue for 15A and red for 10A makes sense. Good luck. Oh and for (possibly useless) info my 15A feeds (2005 Alphard) in the passenger side fuseboard are: Front Fog Lights Eng Computer Cig Lighter Acc Socket and the 10A feeds are: Rear Fog Lights Rear Tail Lights Switch, Aircon illum ABS, Powerslide Door, Cruise Rear Wiper Aircon, Audio Seat Heater Eng Computer, SRS Airbag Shift lock, Door Mirror, Audio

One that is JOBD compatible - so that it can recognise the japanese codes.

I usually suggest amayama.com - put in your details to get the appropriate parts.

I'm sure you guys know this already but I thought I would add a pic of Toyota dealers near Glasgow, just in case it helps: (from: Toyotas website)

I remember talking to someone many years ago who had bought a Hillman Imp (I think) new, took it home and drilled a hole in each side pillar (and quite likely various other spots) and filled it with waxoyl - decades later the car was still in great condition.

Oh well - you have the answer at least. I have a Lanoguard kit waiting for time and the right weather, so I guess that's a no :-)

It should be, fitting a fog-light, possibly changing the speedometer from KpH to MpH and giving it an under-seal would be expected actions, together with the paperwork side of things. I'm not an importer though so your mileage may vary. Is there any paperwork showing who the importer is? it may be worthwhile getting a CarVX (https://carvx.jp/) report.

They don't use / need salt on the roads so that it the why. How long has it been in the UK? When it was imported it should have been treated, so you could ask the previous owner, and / or the importer. Have you taken a look underneath? does any of it look treated? As for places in London I can't suggest any so I would do an internet search for ones in your area.

The Bedford one (The Bowl, 1 Ampthill Rd, Houghton Conquest, Bedford, MK45 3JP) is closest to me at 45 mins so, yeah it would depend on attendance, and my availability of course.

Good - now you need to label that switch :-) I assume it must be an isolator switch so the connection isn't live all the time and can be enabled when needed.
