If you buy a vci adaptor and a copy of techstream for laptop, you can adjust a lot of the ecu settings, like auto light sensitivity, auto lock/unlock, power boot door buzzer, sliding door buzzer, courtesy light delay etc
Thanks, TS! I note that the MPV is quite low. Is there a button to raise the ground clearance? (And keep it at that level during driving?). I drive the Merc GLE. It has a button to raise the ground clearance although only up to about 70kmh (then it auto-lowers to default). Being an SUV, the GLE is fine at its default ground clearance. But I’m worried I might scratch the bottom of this MPV.
Check your absorbers if it has been replaced with aftermarket absorbers. The originals aren't that low and is comparable with regular sedan's height. Unfortunately this MPV does not come with height adjustment. If i recall correctly, Merc GLE comes with air suspension hence the possibility to adjust its height.
@ yes the GLE comes with it but it drops back to normal at 70kmh, which is fine because it’s an SUV - still a good height away from the ground. I’m now interested in the Zeekr 009 and I heard there’s a button to adjust height so I hope it allows driving at higher speeds at height.
I'd seen the side mirrors tilt in reverse gear before but it stopped doing that and I couldn't figure out why... Now I know. I've never seen the Adaptive Cruise feature before ... gotta test that out. I didn't know pushing that stalk in actually does something. Thanks TC, for another informative video.
i never knew my side mirrors can tilt till i accidentally left it on Left. I think the adaptive cruise control is only on certain models and not all. Worth giving it a try.
Hi my friend... can the middle row of seats be pushed forward any furthur? if the two front seats are also pushed forward to their maximum position?? Also.. if front seats are pushed forward to their maximum stop position, and the middle seats are pushed forward to their maximum stop position, what is the distance from the back of the front seats,to the front of the middle row seats... I am wondering if I can get a portaloo/ Thetford chemical mini toilet in that space between the seats? And when front seats and middle seats are pushed all the way forward to their maximum position can a 6-ft man lie down behind the middle seats,in a straight line??... I love these Toyota alphard,but I need this bit of information plse, as I will be using the Alphard when I buy one, for weekends away,and sleeping in the vehicle with my wife...👍🏽💙 thank you in anticipation😊😊🙏🏽
Hi again. You helped me out a few times already with your videos or through comments. I need your advice again regarding my 2009 Vellfire. Thing is that water leaks into my car from the roof. Above the right sliding door where the aircon and light is located. It gets dripping wet around the light and all the way to the front where the ambient light bar starts. I removed the light bar and there was water under it. I cant seem to figure out where it comes from. The moon roof front right drain hole looks fine. I used a wire and air pressure for it. Someone told me that tube for the rear wiper run along this place. How do I remove the interior roof top plastics to check if the tube has a problem and leaks water? Thanks
If you are able to get water out the rear wiper nozzle then its unlikely to be an issue with that tube. Most of the time this area leak is because of drain hole stuck or the drain tube is broken or the rubber seal at the moon roof has degraded. Try this, open the roof, pour water down and see if it leaks into the interior of the car. if it does, then at least we isolated out the wiper tube as the reasons.
Hi TC. What about permanently rotating middle row manual seats 180 degrees? So maybe taking the runners out and putting on opposite rails? Logic says this might work but I don’t know since I have bought my 30 series yet.
Thanks TC. Sad my model dont have adaptive cc like you 🥲. Another hidden features. 2008-2011 model also can turn on n off eco mode. Mine always off mode cause fill more responsive then before.
@@TCsAnythingGoes 2012 aka NFL models has eco button. Like us PFL dont have. How to off eco mode. 1. Press n Hold odo trip button (make sure not on trip A or B position) until eco mode appear on display meter. 2. Release button & press repeatly to on &off. Note: some model like S spec or Z spec cant do this. I try on G n V spec its work.
Thanks TC I wonder can how I move the pilot seats all the way to the front? It seems like mine get stuck and cannot push all the way to the front There is always a pretty big gap between the pilot seats and first row seats after I push the pilot seats to the front Is it normal? Or there is other trick to push the pilot seats all the way to the front?
Check the rails and see if there is anything stuck inside. Mine can go all the way to the center console. I can push mine all the way to the back of the front seats.
you might need to connect it to a computer and use software to turn it off if there is no button to do so. I am not too sure since my car does not have this function.
Hi TC, do you know where to get or the part number of the lever that can be fitted to the second row horizontal latch? I have seen photos of the premium seat package which the pilot seats have these levers instead of just the covers.
@@jccy6727 I do not have the part number but I seen it for sale at Shopee. About RM290 for one side...... a bit ridiculous hence I did not buy it. I think a fair price would be around RM100.
toyotas are 100x nicer in the east than in north america. I wish we could get these vans here. I was only able to just buy a 2006 alphard and I still love it.

If you buy a vci adaptor and a copy of techstream for laptop, you can adjust a lot of the ecu settings, like auto light sensitivity, auto lock/unlock, power boot door buzzer, sliding door buzzer, courtesy light delay etc
This is something I am very interested in but never got to know how to do. Do you have a link on where to purchase those things?

Can share how to make the room light on when open the car door when unlocked via remote? Facing problem when unlocked door, the room light is not on.
there is three options that you can select from the top controller.
Off, On and Door. Choose the door one. Let me know if it solves your problem.
Could you please tell me the dimensions of the inflatable mattress? Thank you.

Hi TC, only the left side mirror dips down on reverse, is there anything I can adjust?
Put to reverse, adjust both mirrors. When you put it into Reverse the next time, it will go to what was set earlier.

How do you check if we have adaptive cruise control?
Does your steering have the buttons for LKA and distance settings (on the right of the steering)?
Do you know if the middle row seats on a 2016 vellfire can be rotated?
I think only the 10 series can rotate the mid row seats. 20 and 30 series can't.
