    Thule used to do foot packs for the Alphard, but discontinued about 10 years ago, hence the jap import route. You can buy just the foot and fitting packs and use the bars bought here, maybe second hand. The long bars is what drives the shipping costs up, due to fees related to size of package.

    You sure it's popped in? This looks like the rear has been 'touched' which had caused the bumper retaining clips to break. The clips are designed to take some impact trauma and can be replaced.

    If you dont want to drill holes, you could try and buy the Toyota wingmirrors that had cameras in them, quite expensive though.

    Need a cheap vci cable, and a laptop to install techstream on. Look on eBay for a vci adaptor with techstream. One you have that, let us know here, and we can talk through the process, it only takes less than 5 minutes to program an additional remote

    Did you disconnect the wiring with the door open? Was the battery disconnected? Disconnect battery, wait a few minutes, reconnect battery. Now open fully and close fully manually, from the handle of the boot only, do not touch the buttons for electrical open/close This will recalibrate the ecu. Then try the buttons.

    Warning light comes on when you still have plenty of fuel to prevent overheating of the pump. Brimming it is more of an issue, as you flood the evap canister.

    Wait until it's dark, park with lights facing a wall, switch off car, make sure the light stalk is set to lights on. Start up engine, you should see both lights move up down and left right to auto adjust. If that loose over does not move, then maybe someone has used too much force during a bulb change.

    Not difficult, remove a couple of screws from black cover under the drivers footwell. Remove the plastic kick panel on the right side, held on by one plastic thumbscrew. You'll reveal a few screws holding the lower dash panel, undo, and pull from the door side, you'll see the etc unit, disconnect the larger plug that powers it.

    After you select Toyota, it does a check of the browser to make sure you're not a robot. But it then proceeds as normal. What browser are you using? Does it have ad blockers or code blockers on it? I just tried 2 mins ago and it worked fine using chrome on android

    I'm not sure a simple map update would be of much use. I believe the hardware is not setup to receive the frequencies of the European gps, vs the qzss frequency of Japanese satellites

    That app does not work on the 20 series Alphard, the system is not Toyota2 as used in euro spec vehicles.

    Its supposed to move. Its part of the AFS. The lights move sideways during cornering. Read up about the electrical systems here https://slideplayer.com/slide/10248235/
