20 series tv antennas x2 are fitted inside the rear spoiler! 

https://www.opieoils.co.uk/search.aspx?search=denso wiper blade

DENSO codes are
DUR-065R (26") driver side
DU-040(16") passenger side
And
DRB-040 rear.

For ah10, you need 26" and 16" for front, 16" rear

That's the sizes from factory. 

Some people fit 28, but you risk hitting edge of glass. 

And loads of info, pdf and videos of how to change the blades etc. 

Who would have thought so much info for a wiper

https://www.nwb.co.jp/product_rain/index.html

Interestingly, Denso and Nippon are merged, so all Toyota wipers out of factory are from this company. 

If you want rubbers only, these are the codes for purchasing via amazon etc 

https://www.nwb.co.jp/sch/search.php?pg=step3&car=アルファード&yomi=ア&maker=トヨタ

If your original wipers were the Nippon ones, you should be able to get the rubbers from Toyota, they have their own codes. 

I currently have a set on order from amazon.jp.

My passenger side blade arrived today, finally can get rid of the aftermarket one that did not have the aero design

Bumper, you could try secondhand, probably easier to join some alphard UK Facebook groups and ask. 

Brake pads, any motor factor/parts centres (except Halfords, you'll just get frustrated beyond the point any reasonable person deserves) 

The brakes/discs are common with multiple Toyota. 

Standard loom in 20 series, but the sockets may not be connected dependant on the headunit. 

You will have 2 connectors(2 wires) these are the 110ac wires, your inverter is most likely not fitted. 

The 8 pin socket is the Rca aux input connector, you will find the other end probably loose behind the headunit.

Did some research. 

Toyotas OEM Wipers for the alphards used blades provided by nippons blade division called NWB (nippon wiper blades)

For the 10 series, the fronts are 26"(650mm) and 16"(400mm), with rear being 16"(400mm)

For the 20 series, the rear is the same, but the fronts are 30"(750mm)and 14"(350mm)

NWB blades are coded D** (** is the 1st 2 digits of the size in mm, E.g. D75 = 750mm) and the rear is GRB40

The 'D' is their design range that use graphite coated rubber.

You can buy their HDA or HDB range (the frames are identical, but the rubber blade is coated in varying qualities of water repellant material that coats the glass (better performance with frost/snow))

You CAN buy just the rubber inserts (check that your existing blades are the nippons ones, they should have a metal clip/rail that needs to be removed and reused - the rubbers do not come with this metal part)

I bought a set from amazon.co.jp (you can create an account in English)

Search term for 10 series is NWB D65 D40 GRB40
Search term for 20 series is NWB D75 D35 GRB40

You can also buy DENSO, which is a decent OEM used by Toyota.

Their largest blade, unfortunately, is only 700mm(28") so if you have a 20 series, you will have slightly less coverage on drivers side.

DENSO codes are
DU-070R (28") or DUR-065R (26") driver side
DU-040(16") or DU-35(14") passenger side
And DRB-040 rear.

For all these wipers, the passenger and rears are about £8 to £12. 
The drivers side, being much larger is about £22 to £26

These are hook fixings, so any cheapo blade of manufacturers wipers will work if you get the sizes right.

The rear blade has a different connector design, so probably best to stick with the NWB or DENSO designs.

Opieoils (linked in a previous post) is very competitive of you are buying the denso blades, but you will be limited to a mac size of 28"

If you still have the original NWB (Nippon) blades fitted, you can save money by buying the rubbers only, from Toyota, or amazon.co.jp

I wonder if it's possible to retroactively add active cruise to an Alphard? 🤔

It's possible, but complex and expensive. 

Active cruise control requires the lane keep assist camera, the microwave emitter, the pre crash braking system. 

These would all need calibration.

wow considering how long we've had the alphard, didn't think a retro fit would be that simple without a re- program.

As long as you have an electronic throttle model (very early alphards had cable throttle), the ecu should already be set up for cruise control, just need the stalk (and the little plastic trim cover for the steering column, if you dont like a big gap) 

This is an expensive unit, but it is overkill for what you want, unless you do also want satnav integrated in to mirror along with android apps etc

Just go on ebay, amazon, or aliexpress and look for digital rear view mirror. 

You can get a unit that clips on to existing mirror, and usually come with a rear camera as well as a front cam. 

You can usually at the to act as purely a rear view using the rear camera.

LOL you know I got the disc and now I find that Russian mirror which is live again http://fsm.japanclassic.ru/toyota/2002.5_7a037_alphard_anh1,mnh1/x339/index2.html?fbclid=IwAR02V4Ze2UWX6u6YHFtpqMWuf5niArKti0Af29cAGbQi9nUkN3HNEQ_uQIE

The mirror site doesn't have the hybrid specific sections, and it's missing the 2004 facelift updates.

Hello Fred,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

You can buy a black one, either just the case, or a spare working fob

On 3/11/2023 at 12:22 PM, Freddyk747 said:

Thank you buddy this is awesome

Look on aliexpress, or ebay. 

There are more modern fob cases you can transfer the innards to. 

You will need to get the new metal key blank cut.

@Island limo Did Picasso's answer solve your problem?

Need to create a new subforum for 30 series.

Thankyou to everyone who has contributed to the various discussions on fitting cruise control to an Alphard. On the strength of those I have bought the necessary bits to do the job. I bought the stalk (8463234011 or 8463234017), but I then bought a stalk and steering wheel switches (75B037) so as not to have to cut into any wires. The thing is the wiring on the two stalks is different. The one I bought off ebay has a lead that has the red and black wire as shown in the YouTube video that is on this forum. The stalk that came included as a package with the steering wheel switches has a lead with 3 wires. There is an additional black and white wire and the red wire is in a different position. That is confusing me. Please see picture. Any help appreciated.

Have you removed the plug on the stalk to check how many physical pins there are. 

Also, you sure both stslks are the same. 

The are two types, one is basic cruise control, the other is active cruise control (it will use senser at front of car, with camera to keep a safe distance between cars, it can actuate the brakes)

Hi want replace my tyres however finding difficulty in sourcing car tyres as van tyres are only listed. I have been told by my local ATS that they don’t want to fit van’s tyres due to the noise. Can anyone advise thanks Colin

Can't you just order what is listed on the door post? 

Or take the code that is on the existing tyres? 

On passenger side footwell, the bottom relay position (relay may not be fitted) will be the easiest. If the fuse is fitted on drivers side (mine was by default, check the fuse layout in an earlier post). 

You should be able to plug wires directly into the empty relay socket, and use the switch you fit as the 'wiper' arm of the relay.

Sorry to dig up this old thread... I've just bought the Valenti RBR-T1 lights from Japan). From your pictures the LED wiring on the back seems straight forward, but how is it wired on the dash (I plan to use a button for the moment rather than replace the stalk). Where do I tap the cable from the rear on the dash?

Well, the official connection is via the indicator stalk, with a signal sent to dash to illuminate the symbol. 

I imagine intercepting those will work, at the fuse on drivers side and the relay in passenger side. 

I'd have to look at wiring again to familiarise myself, I just bought a stalk for about £30

Official Toyota Techstream software will connect to these vehicles. 

Do a search on forum, you can get the cable and software for under £50, it runs on a pc/laptop 

The hybrid system for the 20 series is the same as a 2nd/3rd gen prius, so other than the diagnostics needing to connect via the Japanese protocols (jobd), maintenence and repair is the same reliability. 

The image you posted is not the fuse box. 

Look up above that, that is the junction box you took a photo of
