Wyv9 Neutral Newbie June 26, 2017 Share June 26, 2017 Went to a PI and the price of Alphard S is quite a bit of difference from the SC trim. The main difference certainly is the electronic seats, tailgate. I am OK with it except the auto tailgate which is a must for my wife. Is there any reliable wksp to install aftermarket auto tailgate? Does it work the same as factory installed auto tailgate? Thanks in advance. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyv9 Neutral Newbie June 26, 2017 Share June 26, 2017 What is the trim level with auto tail gate but manual seat adjustment? My wife only interested in 7 seaters. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartlander Turbocharged June 26, 2017 Share June 26, 2017 Today just learnt that the dadhboard menu display of latest 2017 models could be changed between jap and english mode. Really a positive factor for those who do not know much of jap language. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartlander Turbocharged June 27, 2017 Share June 27, 2017 (edited) mine is the 2016 model. purely english only. no more japanese... Oh I was afraid of getting smoke by SE haha. He even showed me how to change the dashboard setting, but I none the wiser on when it had been so. Thot all along PI cars from japan all got some part of menu in jap. The SE even told me earlier batches of this model all jap only. Edited June 27, 2017 by Heartlander Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woes 1st Gear June 27, 2017 Share June 27, 2017 Hi, Went to Borneo over the weekends and the lady SE told me all Alphard/Vellfire are on hold. Was ready to book but she was told all orders are on hold till August. Anybody knows what is the reason? SE said Japan is reassembling some parts...

Heartlander Turbocharged June 29, 2017 Share June 29, 2017 May I know are there differences in number and quality of factory-fitted speakers between the different variants of Alphard/Vellfire? I am not talking about the JBL option. Are the front speakers of odd sizes and difficult to change? It seems there are many speakers in this ride - dashboard got 3, each of the 4 doors got 2 (tweeter and normal). Are stock speakers good enough?

Wyv9 Neutral Newbie June 30, 2017 Share June 30, 2017 is it worth to pay premium to get SA model compare to S model? It is a few thousand and the difference seem to be cruise control and long slide of seats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems there are many speakers in this ride - dashboard got 3, each of the 4 doors got 2 (tweeter and normal). Are stock speakers good enough? Simple question but nobody could or bother to answer. Really a bit disappointed. And I do not believe nobody has already taken delivery of a Alphard/Vellfire so far. I took the time to search within the thread but nothing much has been posted on speakers, so it is not something that has been asked and answered so many times that it has become nauseous. Is it true that all had been poached to join the facebook forum or WhatsApp group that this has become an empty shell? Much like the Biante thread? This really does not bode well for a car forum that claims itself to be the number one car forum and car club locally. Sorry for being frank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a public forum, not a dealer forum, if you expect a forum to reply your questions "immediately". Why don't you call the dealers to answer you the question. Be wise when being frank.

Why don't you call the dealers to answer you the question. Be wise when being frank. I am not asking for immediate reply, having waited for 2 days. This is a simplest query, don't think would need more than 10min to write a answer. Of course I am able to ask my dealer for answer, but I always think it is good to get answers from current ride owners whose answers tend not be to be too biased. The dealers are there to sell the cars, period! You think they will be frank with their answers and tell you the issues troubling the ride? If your dealer tell you this rider you are keen on is the best quality, the most reliable, would you believe it? Would you have more confidence when the replies come from existing ride owners who have owned the rides for some time already? I noted you joined the forum on August/2016. I am sure the forum has been more active in the past 10 years than now. Anyway, never mind. There are always other sources to look for replies. Cheers.

Heartlander Turbocharged July 1, 2017 Share July 1, 2017 Anyway, sorry for my outburst. I will know in details when I taking delivery of my new ride.
