KiNK43 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Don't know what's happening to me but I'm quickly changing teams and have a new love for Toyota. Hilux surf joined the family last year and now have recently got an Alphard as a daily. I absolutely love it. However seems to have mixed opinions amongst my friends, obviously some of them don't get the JDM life. Gonna be a small project this one. Fixing niggles. And some maintenance. Few upgrades and some nice wheels at some point soon. Start with some pics of the beast. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are both 3l and 3.5l V6. 2.4l hybrids which are 4wd electric back end on them. And this one which is the basic 2.4l. boring I know. But as a daily I wanted something with the least to go wrong. Already found out parts are incredibly expensive. Lovely drive Tho. Very quiet and relaxed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 So far fiddled with a few bits just to bring it upto date. Fitted cruise control which was incredibly simple, couldn't believe it worked tbh. I've switch the japanese headunit out for an Android unit. Cost a fair whack but has 6gb ram and a lovely OLED screen. Very impressed with it. Managed to get reverse camera and steering controls etc All functioning like like they should. Wireless Android auto aswell which is nice. Also fitted a usb port on the dash for wired connections. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Looks spot on mate... It's a nice bus Interior does look sweet with the headunit in. Will be cool for family road trips will that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 That looks sweet as mate, really suits that head unit. Can't believe you managed to retrofit Cruise control, that's amazing! The one thing I wish DD and Poppy both had. Which android unit did you go for, is that the Atoto or the Xtrons? Oh, and was it a "true" double Din size as most of those ones aren't lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 It's neither of those @Dave I can't remember the brand, EKIY maybe. It's far from double din unfortunately. Screen is 9" across. And kinda tapered at the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screen is 9" across. And kinda tapered at the sides. Ahh, thought it may have had the big screen but either a DD (no, not that DD lol) or a single din slotting into the dash. Would love an android in DD (and the MINI for that matter) but just wish Pioneer would do an Android single din with the motorized DD screen. Know they do their own one but not a fan of the operating platform. Have looked at the Chinese ones (and had a few delivered that were either didn't work or were in bits lol) but love the sound of the Pioneers, always have. Got them in both DD and the MINI at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 Yeah the motorized chinese single dins. Just seen so tacky unfortunately. It'd be my idea solution for the civic as could run S dash on it etc connected to go data. But like you would want a branded one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan1 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Looks great mate, especially with the new head unit. Whats it like in the back? All seating or could you use it as a mini camper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
