    No. If the etc unit is disconnected, the only thing it would be is the headunit itself. Are you sure it's the etc beeping? What is on your windscreen? Could you record the beeping sound?

    Look for a sticker, often on the rear glass, that shows the eco compliance year. If it says 2002 or earlier, you are out of luck. If it says 2005 ( some earlier Toyota complied to the later proposed standard) then you essentially have a euro 4 compliant vehicle. This is why the later 10 series are ulez compliant, whist the very first years of production are not.

    I think you need to remove the entire panel

    Watch this for info.

    What fuel are you using? Are you using premium (97 ron+)? You don't need premium in the 2.4l, its used for the v6 engines that have higher compression, in order to perfect pre-ignition. Maybe you have lower compression than normal which is causing the fuel to ignite far too late and causing such poor power generation.

    You have a link for the service pack?

    Here's a video by carcarenut (Toyota specialist on YouTube) that explains the entire brake maintenance. Pins are around the 16min mark. You'll notice the pins are like you show. One has the rubber collar. He has many videos, and it's extremely knowledgeable on Toyota and lexus

    You have a 20 series hybrid or a 3.5l V6? Quite a lot of difference.

    Dashboard illumination. So that the switch icon lights up with the other switches on the dash.

    Honestly, buy Toyota shims. Toyota do brake service kits that have the shims. I'm still using the original, which are designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. Some owners throw out the originals if shims are included with pads, that's usually a mistake!

    The bulbs are listed on the top of the headlamps. Embossed into the frame. Eg. On my 2010 Alphard, the high beam are hb3 And the dipped are d4s

    Could you take photo of your dash? If it the newer one that has a display with a navigation menu?

    Not seen this, makes sense because the speed limit in Japan is 60. Maybe it is configurable via the obd2 port using techstream

    I don't have the 10 series cdrom, you need to ask Atlanticcobra2023.

    Yep, i removed bumper, removed reflectors, and fitted foglights in my lunch break. Took less than 30 mins, and I'm not a mechanic.
