    Check out the electrical system manual here. https://slideplayer.com/slide/10248235/ It has the reset process for Windows and doors. You have to basically put them in manual mode (the ' pwr door off' button to left of the steering wheel) and open fully then close to recalibrate the ecus. Take a read

    White paint had a batch issue. Paint was mixed in America and caused recall. Unfortunately, as an import, and being outside the recall window, we are stuffed. It affected pretty much so Toyota with this white paint for a few years either side of 2010

    Check the forum posts. Several have had this issue where the drop-down screen has failed. You will find instructions on how to bypass the audio

    I agree. Booster usually clamps to outside edge of connector, you might have a contaminate on the inner edge of the battery clamps

    Beeping when attempting to use the external door buttons to lock, at least on the 20 series, is an indicator that a fob is inside the vehicle. It's a safety feature to prevent you locking your keys in the car. Maybe you have a fob hidden in the car somewhere? I know some of the remote start systems had a box that a fob was locked in, so that doors could be locked whilst the engine was running unattended.

    That's an export model alphard, probably in Malaysia or Hong Kong. The jdm alphards have a slightly different headunit model that does not have English as a selectable option

    For less than £40 , you can get a vci adaptor and copy of techstream, and program a blank key yourself

    Not sure that's possible. One way to force it may be too leave gear selector in N, then use start button to switch off ignition. Be sure to check headlights and interior lights are off.

    I've sent a private message.

    From the official hybrid maintenance manual. Do you have a windows pc?

    You mean stuff like this.

    As Rojie said. It's a multitude of aftermarket things. Could be a remote trigger for dash cam. Could be a push to talk button for voice activated satnav. Could be a toggle for the headunit to allow dvd to play on front screen whilst car is in motion.

    There are 3 zones within the Alphard, i believe by default, the fib has to be within 100cm of the start button to work effectively. You can expand this so that the key can be further away via the obd2 port using the right software.

    Not too sure about the 10 series. The 20 series alarm latch is incorporated in to the latch itself. That looks aftermarket. Do you have an alarm fitted? It was a dealer option

    Not as simple as that, the Japanese maintenance manual is a cdrom, that had an offline html based manual. It only runs properly on internet explorer 5.5/6, so you need a windows xp or that era, to run it. The other option is to purchase a paper version, but they are expensive.
  16. Chris.ac
    You mean a repair manual or a user guide?
  17. Chris.ac
    If it's a reputable dealer, then yes. No hesitation.

    Your key is too far away from the start button. You can increase this range via the obd2 port using a Bluetooth app like carscanner or techstream.

    Would help us to know what headunit you have. As standard, the 2013 had a cd slot behind the screen. You push the eject/open screen button to reveal it. Should be obvious, unless you don't have an original headunit installed.

    In a previous post, you said you had 1st to 3rd gen manuals. Are you asking how to share them?
  21. Chris.ac
    Maybe it is just some safety lockout. Parking brake on, Gear in park. Central locking unlocked. Does the courtesy light work when the passenger door is opened? Maybe it will not activate the swivel if it does not detect the door as open. Check any switches around door and the frame that may be jammed.

    The Toyota rear screen uses ntsc, and it's quite low resolution. You may be better with an aftermarket rear screen. What type of video out is there on the Kenwood?
  23. Chris.ac
    Use nail of end of butter knife to move the little section on the left, over to the right. Then you pull the battery holder out
  24. Chris.ac
    The 10 series didn't have as many modules installed, I'm not even sure you can change anything like auto light delay, or door beeps.
  25. Chris.ac
    Almost right. Vellfire and Alphard seem to alternate between facelifts. But the shape between the types is obvious when comparing before purchase
