  1. This is the one i have (bluetooth) It's important to get one with the extra PBA, as this is needed for the jdm vehicles
  2. I have two of these, they with perfectly in 20 series and a bmw mini. I use car scanner pro app (apple and Android stores). I'm not sure how much data is available on the 10 series, but these adaptors are less than £5, so worth a shot. Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! £4.73 55%OFF | PL Ship V1.5 MINI ELM 327 BT Double PCB ELM 327 Code Reader V1.5 PIC18F25K80 for Android/PC WIFI ELM 327 USB Swith MS/HS SCAN https://a.aliexpress.com/_EJ62muZ
  3. If you only have a rear camera, no. The blue connector is the IPA (intelligent parking assist) connection, which is present if you have front or side cameras. If you only have rear camera, it's connected directly to the head unit.
  4. Just drive for a few miles, it relearns the fuel trims. It does this automatically when you change grade of fuel too. You can also buy a new blanking plate that already has the cutout, it's common across many Toyota models.
  5. Ah, you had a model that did not have the full navi system installed. So your etc module was aftermarket fitted. Still, the actual wiring may still exist in the official position in the coin holder location. Check behind that trim.
  6. You could tap into the maplights, with a small switch to isolate. You have a perm live right there.
  7. Do you have a towbar? I had a small current drain due to the voltage threshold circuit that was set too low.
  8. Diagnostics on the 20 series ( which you have, your chassis code refers to ( ANH20....), is possible using the obd2 port. It uses the Japanese protocols. If you have a laptop, you can buy a cheap connector and software to enable you to diagnose and reset things, as well as configure dealer options like the sliding door beeps, auto lights thresholds etc etc. You'll find threads here if you search, or just ask if you want links to where to buy. You can even use a Bluetooth adaptor that connects to your phone via app.
  9. If you have the ETC unit still in the little coin holder to right of steering wheel, it has can wires on it. ( As well as a handy switched live and illumination wire)
  10. Exactly, just buy the module. At it is, will be 2 relays with the coil connected to a switched live, so that it as you say flips to fold when power is removed. basically replicating the switch configuration. The circuit is far simpler than the auto file fitted alphards, they do use a logic signal in to the controller, in fact, when you manually adjust the mirror via the buttons. They are sending a signal like the steering wheel buttons, to the controller that then moves the mirror. If you turn off the car, move the glass with your finger, it will return to the last position automatically when engine starts.
  11. Is it continuously doing it when ignition on or only once every time you turn on ignition?
  12. @Sorin your loom was butchered, so I'm no help there as the original connectors are long gone, but if you look at the diagrams, you will see there are dozens of places to pick up the can wires. You could even buy a obd² port splitter and use the wires from there. It's academic at this point, because I'm not familiar with that headunit and if it has the ability to render lines from steering angle data
  13. Well that is effectively what the aftermarket modules do. They take power from the central locking motor as the pulse to fold unfold, and use a switched acc wire in the door loom. You have to account for the logic where the doors auto lock unlock when car is moved into and out of park, or when your speed goes over 7mph
  14. @Sorin I can't recall offhand, if there are 3 or only 2 wiring looks for the mirrors, the diagrams i linked to should have both types. It situations like this, i find going onto other Toyota forums, like rav4 etc, as many people there make mods like this. I would like to think it's not just a switch that Toyota saved money on, like they did with cruise control on some base models. Given the number of aftermarket adaptors that plug and play to the socket in the door, with additional taps to the door lock make it seem more complex than what my original thoughts suggest. Clearly there is a logic signal, but it must integrate somewhere.
  15. I can't remember where it was now, somewhere like Portsmouth, where some morons had fitted a speed bump just after the height barrier, so if, like me, you fly close to the wind, you get a lovely surprise as your front wheels climb the speed bump. I used to get my children to watch through the moon roof, and if I hadn't, I would have had a nice repair!, that was one of the 2 times I've reversed back out of an entrance because of idiotic car park design. The other was a new fire suppression system in Cambridge, where some pipework was lower than the height restriction bar.
