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?

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.

Yep, let them know in advance that the odometer reads in kilometres, they will record it as such.

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

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

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.

Hmm. Actually, what year is your vehicle, it looks like you have 24 pins instead of 22, i can't tell because the one are quite reflective on the right hand side. Could you check how many pins you have?

This plug/socket (bottom right on your image of headunit connectors) Pin numbers are 5,6,16,17. If connecting to an aftermarket headunit, you might need a Toyota 6v adaptor, if reusing existing camera.

You can find full maintenance manual, including instructions for bulbs online. I won't post link, to avoid breaking forum rules, but if you do s Google search for English Repair Manual (09/2012-->12/2014) (RM2443) You will see a site that contains the manual, you will also find wiring diagrams.

Do you have an etc card reader fitted? Its useless in the UK, but they usually have a permanent 12v and an acc 12v and ground connection to them ( i know this to be true on the 20 series alphards) Its safe to disconnect the etc and use it's connector to tap into.

You will need to remove half the bumper, because the retaining screw is practically impossible to reach otherwise. That's an aftermarket led reflector.

When was the battery replaced? If it's the battery that was there on import, it is most probably knackered.

I think i have the official one from Toyota.jp Its in Japanese, of you can't find it on their site, I'll try and dig it out. I used Google translate on my phone to read it

I'll pm link
