The best way to deactivate the airbag is by using an airbag srs defeat resistor ( they use them on rally cars, for obvious reasons) They cost around £15, but you'll need to get to the socket to disconnect the airbag and insert the resistor. They are literally just a regular resistor, so if you know someone that has used a soldering iron and is technically minded, they could do it for less than £5. This is basically the technique. https://www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/topic/140137-diy-airbag-bypass-for-iq/ You could of course just disconnect it, but without the resistor tricking the system, your airbag light on dash will stay on. For ETC. You need to disconnect the plug at the back of the ETC card reader

Just to add. https://www.quotezone.co.uk/car-insurance/average-car-insurance-premium-by-region I think people have an unrealistic view of what they should be paying. I think it depends from the idea that insurance should get cheaper as your no claims increases, whereas the no claims discount is applied after taking into consideration the average insurance increases. Even the month you renew has an effect on price!

Yep, i think we messaged each other on Facebook about the pivot system back when i found it. The hard speed limit, it's not that much of a problem, i don't tend to do over 112mph anyway, lol. The pivot system seems to be the least hassle, and of course you can easily disconnect the whole thing if changing vehicle or selling.

Did the new bushes come with new bolts, or did you reuse?

Ok. I think i have an idea. The long roof lights. There is a connector junction block that seems to loop back. If we break this loopback and fit a separate on off switch, we can manually defeat the logic that activates the mood lighting completely. The following images show the circuit, the connector and it's location. You can see the circuit literally shorts pins 9 and 10, and pins 20 and 21 together. If we access the socket, expose the wiring and cut, fit a DPDT switch, we can manually override the operation of the auto mood lights.

Gotta keep reminding myself, finally got laptop working again.

It's actually pretty amazing, that in the several years of owning the alphard, I've still not found anyone that has managed to remove the cruise or speed limiter. That's across all the 2gr-fe vehicles. I've looked in Russian and Japanese.

You forget to mention, the pivot system also has various throttle mapping, so you get a smoother Eco or more aggressive throttle response. Have you used these settings and can say if they make any difference?

Please try Mark Richards, unless you already did.

Same as before, you need to know if you have the 18, 11 or 8 sis speaker system first. You also have choice of a 'Tesla' style unit, a retrofit 30 series style, a retrofit 40 series style, or standard 8" style. You can spend from £180 to £1000. Some come with the entire surround including the section where the gear select lever is. Some replace the climate control with a touch screen. Some include physical volume and selection buttons etc etc etc.

I had the same, lower window, clean the felt rubber seals, i used an old toothbrush to agitate any dirt . Started working as intended immediately afterwards.

I'll try and get around to looking at the wiring schematic, see if there is a clue, may just need one wire snipped with a switch fitted.

Xtrons do many screens, with some having digital TV, aux in and usb storage options. These can be bought for less than £200.

It depends on what your roof looks like after conversion and where you want to mount it. Many DIY kits have a frame, so it's usually a matter cutting a bit of the lining, fitting the frame and running some wires. If you get a standalone unit, you won't need to rely on the headunit, they can even come with speakers built in. You need to give a bit more info for the answers to be helpful. 1. So you want it to operate independently of the front headunit 2. Do you want it to be a dvd/digital tv player, or do you want it to connect to your phone or usb to play media. 3. Where do you want to mount it. 4. Do you have an existing drop down monitor?

It means you have a 20 series, the ambient rear lighting has a control module behind the rear climate controls. I've not looked into it, but it should be possible to add a switch to kill power to the rear lights, i imagine you could intercept the live from the b pillar, not I've not bothered to locate the actual wire. You could check the wiring diagram available online.
