2009 and 2011 are the same chassis.

@twcut Have to be careful with AliExpress claims. Make sure they specify original Toyota 360 degree 4 cameras (which was only 270 degree, 3 cameras before 2012) And not aftermarket 360 setups. Sometimes they give an external module that converts the output from the park assist ecu to a composite camera feed. In reality, if you are going for a Birdseye view 360 setup, you'll be better off with an aftermarket kit due to improvements in resolution and low light imaging. The claim of 360 working generally means the headunit is fitted with the module, as this is an optional module that the cheaper units sell separate, and it's required to allow the software to load.

Nice. I recommend Valenti reflector/led. There are 2 bumper designs on the 20 series, so you will need to make sure to order the correct design (there are 3 design types on Valenti website) All info is on the main thread. https://uk.alphardclub.com/forums/topic/1222-rear-foglights-better-integration/

Where there is a will, there is a way. Depends on your headunit. Some have dual Bluetooth, so separate connections for phone and media. Some have an aux input on the rear of the centre armrest storage console. Some you can use a Bluetooth to fm adaptor. Try this site, has lots of information on the 10 series headunit operation. Try posting an image of your headunit so others can advise better http://eightseaters.blogspot.com/search/label/HU Operation

Check the thread i started. It depends on your budget, and how legal you want it. If you do it the way a few of us have, you'll fit a new indicator stalk, and replace the reflectors with a e marked retro reflector with leds

JDM vehicles in general do not have English options on the head units designed for Japan (due to custom satnav, connectivity to japans road communication network, radio frequency ranges that are not generally used elsewhere etc, unless it is a headunit also used on the export models for Hong Kong or Malaysia, in which case they tend to have lower spec headunits in English. You most certainly will need to get used to the interface, which didn't take long to be fair, or swap it out for a uk headunit I've owned import Toyota's since 1999, and just never bothered replacing the fitted units, they do what they are designed to do. Play music. Cheapest fix is a radio band expander for about £15, and a Bluetooth to FM adaptor if an aux in is not available.

Parking ECU, the sonar sensors, and cameras ( on the higher equipment spec) route through that. The reason it connects to amp is that utilise the drivers side dash speakers

2.4l uses a chain. I would not worry about it, honestly. Unless you are having some other major engine issue, the chain is the last thing to worry about

Standard square thule.

These parts i ordered from amazon.jp

Thule used to do foot packs for the Alphard, but discontinued about 10 years ago, hence the jap import route. You can buy just the foot and fitting packs and use the bars bought here, maybe second hand. The long bars is what drives the shipping costs up, due to fees related to size of package.

You sure it's popped in? This looks like the rear has been 'touched' which had caused the bumper retaining clips to break. The clips are designed to take some impact trauma and can be replaced.

If you dont want to drill holes, you could try and buy the Toyota wingmirrors that had cameras in them, quite expensive though.

Need a cheap vci cable, and a laptop to install techstream on. Look on eBay for a vci adaptor with techstream. One you have that, let us know here, and we can talk through the process, it only takes less than 5 minutes to program an additional remote

Did you disconnect the wiring with the door open? Was the battery disconnected? Disconnect battery, wait a few minutes, reconnect battery. Now open fully and close fully manually, from the handle of the boot only, do not touch the buttons for electrical open/close This will recalibrate the ecu. Then try the buttons.

Warning light comes on when you still have plenty of fuel to prevent overheating of the pump. Brimming it is more of an issue, as you flood the evap canister.

Wait until it's dark, park with lights facing a wall, switch off car, make sure the light stalk is set to lights on. Start up engine, you should see both lights move up down and left right to auto adjust. If that loose over does not move, then maybe someone has used too much force during a bulb change.

Not difficult, remove a couple of screws from black cover under the drivers footwell. Remove the plastic kick panel on the right side, held on by one plastic thumbscrew. You'll reveal a few screws holding the lower dash panel, undo, and pull from the door side, you'll see the etc unit, disconnect the larger plug that powers it.

After you select Toyota, it does a check of the browser to make sure you're not a robot. But it then proceeds as normal. What browser are you using? Does it have ad blockers or code blockers on it? I just tried 2 mins ago and it worked fine using chrome on android

I'm not sure a simple map update would be of much use. I believe the hardware is not setup to receive the frequencies of the European gps, vs the qzss frequency of Japanese satellites

That app does not work on the 20 series Alphard, the system is not Toyota2 as used in euro spec vehicles.

Its supposed to move. Its part of the AFS. The lights move sideways during cornering. Read up about the electrical systems here https://slideplayer.com/slide/10248235/

Its suggest emailing Tein. They have an email link on their page. https://www.tein.co.jp/e/products/hybrid_wagon.html
