Cruise control
Confirm what picasso said, your year has cable throttle, so you need a more complex mechanical solution that will run to several hundred £.

Reserve fuel roulette
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!

New head unit
Awesome work. I'm still using original headunit, so never got around to figuring that out, well done!

New head unit
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

New head unit
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

New head unit
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

SHIFTER ILLUMINATION
- SHIFTER ILLUMINATION
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.- Dash not showing the gearbox position
Well, did it have electronic Speedo converter or faceplate change? You've had it a month? Any other mods? New headunit?- 2021 Alphard rare screen
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.- Fuel tank capacity. Vellfire vs Alphard
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.- Where to source parts
Amayama is also good.- Power socket not working
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- Fuse for Front Heater control
sorry, late to the party. looks like you sorted it - 20 year old panel finally packed in it seems!- 09 vellfire mode button
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- Full Beam and Side Light Help
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.- Vellfire armrest console box not sliding 2009
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?- Vellfire armrest console box not sliding 2009
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- Smart Key Fob
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.- Smart Key Fob
I bought spare from this dude, works perfectly after programming: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255649911789- All Alphard Vellfire Battery Specs
6 months before I had to use it, started up first press of button. Same battery used to jump my son's car that was not used over the uni term. State of charge is still around 80% I have a bt battery monitor on both cars and the spare. Once a week I walk past and grab the current status.- Power Steering heavy most the time/lumpy weight when parking
thinking about it, the chip should not matter, if it is wired correctly, as the data into the chip is the original source that is shared to the abs and steering, cruise and engine ecu. your binding brakes are more the concern, as this would definitely affect the ABS speed sensors, it may well be the steering ecu responding as if your wheels have locked and you are in a skid.- All Alphard Vellfire Battery Specs
nice, i have a 75D23L installed, max I have seen online in a D23L size was 95A (95D23L) - moving to D26L may be the way to go. At moment, I just carry a spare battery from my old 3L Diesel in the back with jumpleads, just in case. - SHIFTER ILLUMINATION
