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

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
-
Its suggest emailing Tein.
They have an email link on their page.

Projector is an S type, reflector lens is an R type
Attach a photo of the headlamp for clarification
-
Those are not Toyota fitted.
Previous owner has modified or rerouted connectors
-
Oh, that's different to mine. Mine actually counts in Japanese and has a zero volume with two separate buttons for increase and decrease.
Do you have original headunit? As that also has an etc mute setting.
-
That centre console contains the hybrid battery pack, and some of the electrics for the management and cooling are under the seats.
You might not be able to do what you are trying to do without serious modification
-
It should work, as i think all the 20 series have the integrated etc with volume controls.
If not i can share the disassembly instructions

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.
