  1. Yes. Its had the headunit and rear screen replaced with a 'Tesla' style unit which will be in English. It has the 18 speaker system and electric seat pack (heated seats, memory, middle row electric seats with ottomans) Much better than your last
  2. Under drivers seat? The only standard things would be the subwoofer (black) fitted in the 18 speaker system and the 110v inverter ( if you have the Japanese ac sockets in the rear of the centre console and the 150watt AC switch to the right of steering wheel. Without knowing your full spec or modifications from previous owner, hard to say without a photo
  3. Grab an English version of the owners manual ( Its official Toyota that they used to distribute on their website) From vaug.club/kb/
  4. Work great (on 20 series) on country roads at night.
  5. Just to add, you can buy boxes of 10 rubber refills. When removing the old rubber, you must remove and swap to the new rubber, the two long metal ribs. At the moment, getting those official rubber refills in packs of 10 requires going via a 3rd party. I'm still looking at the first effectiveness. I used amayama to buy a few rubbers for both sides ( kept adding to basket until the postage bumped up, at which point i removed one rubber too get it down to the lowest cost delivery)
  6. Switch off ignition, then start engine. Afs wont adjust whilst stationary, except during start up when it calibrates itself. Its most noticeable when turning corners, you should see the light pattern move to the side.
  7. The headlamp cover is like a side dish. I'll take a photo
  8. No. Not via headunit or engine bay. The official one will have a control ECU mounted behind the wood effect trim, between the passenger airbag and the glovebox. There would usually be an antenna on the passenger a pillar, because the remote start has a longer signal range. If you look on this forum, you'll see some examples. You can actually buy a decent freebie system for around£350, which will not only remote start, but also allow you to open and close the windows, adjust the ac, lock and unlock doors, monitor battery voltage etc.
  9. Would need to know what system you have. Some literally have one of the actual car fobs inside a Faraday box, so when you use the remote start, it connects the actual standard fob to the security ecu to fool in into thinking you are sat in the car. What remote start system do you have?
  10. Depending on the original owner, they may have used the oem etc which will look like a credit card slot in the dash , or an aftermarket unit which will adjust have a card for in it, but may be mounted in the footwells or glove box. You could also tap into the wiring for the map lights. You can also buy an obd2 adaptor that will give you power You can buy them for £25 at halfords, or far cheaper on Amazon. Eg.
  11. Yep, let them know in advance that the odometer reads in kilometres, they will record it as such.
  12. Did you fix this? It not, were your front struts replaced and the wrong type of bolts fitted in the mount? I was watching some videos from 'car care nut' on YouTube and remembered this thread. Struts and alignment
  13. You been also look for Toyota sienna on your search for YouTube videos, as the mechanism is practically the same, but more popular in America. Not sure exactly what your issue is, but you could start here YouTube
  14. I've had my Alphard mot'ed by 3 different centres, all 3 didn't bat an eye at the sight of it. An mot is an mot they don't need specialist tools because it's an import. It was the same when i owned imported Toyota estima, hiace, Sera. Just book it wherever you can. Unless you know it's going to fail in advance.
