  1. Look for bulbs that state anti hyperflash. These come fitted with resistors already.
  2. Didn't the 10 series mark the lamp housing like 20 series? Check if you have a projector housing, as it would be D2S. D2R has a small shield on the bulb to prevent light being emitted forward, as it uses a reflector housing. If not sure, attach photo of headlamp and we will tell you. On 20 series, it's easy as the bulb is printed on top Example
  3. This is alphard forum, as in the Toyota Alphard MPV, not alpine Do you mean you have a Nissan elgrand? Try looking in those forums
  4. Confirm what picasso said, your year has cable throttle, so you need a more complex mechanical solution that will run to several hundred £.
  5. 20 series has 65ltr tank. If you connect an obd2 reader, the fuel gauge sender has a range of 0 to 50. I've let the obd2 drop to zero, I believe there is at least 10 litres in reserve, this will be by design, as the pump will need to be kept cool. The most I've managed to pump back in was 54litres, not wanting to force more in to avoid damage to the the evap system. There are a few YouTube videos of a few Toyotas driven until they cut out and refuse to start, I think it was a corolla that still had 100 miles of fuel after the needle had stopped moving!
  6. Awesome work. I'm still using original headunit, so never got around to figuring that out, well done!
  7. Excellent find. I had wanted to do this mod, but never got around to it, the Toyota mic is pretty decent, when I tested it from the diagnostics menu
  8. The connector k is an input to the headunit. The signal out to the rear screen is void connector c I think. Send me a pm with an email address, so I can forward a scan of the Japanese wiring. The English versions you can find online are based on export models of the 20 series, as used in Russia, hongkong, etc, they usually had lower spec headunit/amplifiers
  9. You have a copy of the CDROM? There are two schematics, based on premium sound (18 speaker) or super live sound (11 speaker) If you have 2008 >2010 you will have a green connector on back, as the Japanese TV tuner connected to this. 2010 > onwards has the TV tuner built in to headunit by removing the minidisc player
  10. There is a manual available, it's in Japanese. There also always to be software you can install on pc to manage the files it records.
  11. 2nd MOT, no problems. It's all about beam pattern, so don't put led in dipped beam.
  12. The numbers/letters on the shifter should be illuminated. The bezel around the shifter is not, that's an AliExpress/Amazon.jp mod. The device nearest rear view mirror is for auto windscreen wipers, it's a rain detector. ETC, useless in this country, can be removed, would be interested to see if they connected it to anything up top or if it has it's own wire run to fuse box. Furthest unit is dash cam, obviously.
  13. Well, did it have electronic Speedo converter or faceplate change? You've had it a month? Any other mods? New headunit?
  14. Rear screen will be controllable from the headunit, if it's the official Toyota one still fitted. Not sure those luxury model seats are capable of going further back; check near the rear of the seat for a removable panel, on earlier models a panel hid a lever that allowed the centre seats to be pushed closer together, and allowed them to slide back further avoiding the tyre wells. But it looks like your seats are unable to be pushed closer due to the pull out table.
  15. Toyota has quite a generous 'reserve' amount of around 10litres. The needle/warning light is calibrated for 50 litres. You can see this via the obd2 data, the remainder of the tank is reserve and fuel filter and evap system.
  16. Has someone fitted a USB socket next to it? In a blank switch space? The usually piggyback the cig connector(plug and play) possibly the cig socket was not reconnected
  17. sorry, late to the party. looks like you sorted it - 20 year old panel finally packed in it seems!
  18. the mode button works with the original head unit and swaps it between FM/AM/CD/AUX etc, its basically like pressing the physical buttons on the headunit in sequence
  19. the bulb types are listed on the top of the headlamp casing, embossed in to the plastic. no need to remove to see what they are.
  20. wait, that picture is NOT your vehicle and your box is currently closed and will not slide forward? is that it? in this case, is there something jamming it from the lower storage position?
  21. I do not understand the question - the box is open as it is slid forward towards the front console, do you mean you want to slide it closed to cover the rear storage? Open the cupholder compartment and inside there is a handle on the rear edge that unlocks the sliding portion
  22. You will need someone with Techstream, which is EVERY toyota dealer because its their official software - they will blow smoke about imports not being supported. If you have a laptop, you can buy a VCI cable from ebay for about £30 - this will allow you to program the key yourself, which is a pretty simple procedure, as long as you have 1 working fob already.
  23. I bought spare from this dude, works perfectly after programming: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255649911789
