if you lock the car using keyfob then this will set the alarm... but if you lock from inside (drivers inside lock) then it shouldn't. Try it at home. I have done this with other toyotas so probably the same. -
i would get a AC bomb and run it through your system I would also use AirVidox ( https://airvidox.com/ ) which is a potent odour eliminator, can get rid of dog smell or tobacco and other nasty niffs, basically you mix the 2 compounds and leave overnight in the car, then air out car totally. many car dealers use it to get rid of smells from used cars. if you get the fragrance be careful not to spray and sniff.. its very concentrated. so use little bit on car first.

i do remember when doing mine i had done it wrong a couple of times. Forget what it was now. Have you tried it without the "dash"?
-
i cannot think of anything that could replace it and I guess leaving it there is better than having an imprint in the roof lining.
-
more like professionally fitted kits.. similar to LPG. The tank would be most major hurdle. But not likely to happen until we get the infrastructure first
-
if you intend to buy then i would get a CARVX report done here you will need a VIN number from the seller, you can get a proper report.
-
Not doubting your fitter but have you asked the same question to other fitters around your area? just to confirm this?

Recently finished a 4 stage detail on the paintwork (i am not a detailer so don't beat me up) 2 x wash with tfr and snow foam jet wash off Meguiars Clay bar decontimination (Amazing how much comes off) Meguiars Compound with machine and hand wiped off Megiuars Polish with machine and hand wiped off Meguiars Liquid Wax (Polymer wax) sponged on and hand wipe off Final buff with sheepskin buffer took around 8 hours not including roof, that still needs doing as too hot. arms like popeye now. But wow, the car looks sooo deep black now and had loads of comments from passers by

Transmission Fluid Change for the 3.5 V6 (Not 2.4) ANH20 Alphard / Vellfire uses ATF WS and has been quite hard to get hold of. I have seen a Toyota Dealer selling it for £25 a litre on amazon, yes you read that right. As its hard to get hold of they are making the most out of it. I have just bought 7 litres for my Series 2 Alphard (bear in mind Alphard 1st series uses different fluid!!!) https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/product/lexus-genuine-ws-atf-fluid-1l/ Lexus Parts Direct sell it for just over £10 a litre with a few quid delivery. A pound cheaper that Toyota Parts Direct. lol Sometimes this does go on back order as there is a shortage ( an additive shortage) so get some now or put yourself on back order if they run out. Other prices i have seen are £15 per litre, so Lexus Parts Direct have a decent price.

adrian flux £365 for the ANH20... 1st series they can be quite competitive, not so much for the 2nd series, it first came back at 700. But i told them that is unrealistic and the lady went off to get a better price and came back at 365 with a 400 excess... was 500 but negotiated that down. Excess is a bit higher than i normally have it so took out excess protect to pay the excess.

Best have a transmission service. Replace fluid and filter. You will need either a garage or transmission specialist to do this for you. I would do it sooner than later

@Island limo Did Picasso's answer solve your problem?

We should also consider camping spots nearby or actual camping areas if we get permission.
