it makes a big difference - I used to use an old picnic blanket in my older Estimas, but this is so much neater

yes, if you can get the parts. I saw a youtube vid (malaysian) of them retro fitting the parts to the drivers side sliding door

wire loom exists, there should even be a connector behind those buttons to connect a switch to. There should exist the relay socket and fuse position in the boxes already. I added some wiring diagram to this thread, before the russian site went offline

gen 2 key programming takes less than 6mins via techstream, you need at least one working 'key'

Just another note - there are different ones available if you have the centre dash speaker, and you can pay double or more for leather, if so inclined

if you want plain black they have it in flannel (nicer feeling, £20 as opposed to £15) Either will make a huge difference to the reflections, now if i leave a parking permit ticket on dash, its like being blinded by the reflection off of the glass. It is especially good when the sun comes out after a rain shower, only have to squint against the road reflections and not the dash!

I got a 20 series one on ebay, I see this 10 series on on aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000021581313.html

winter packs usually are rear fog, second battery or larger battery (with either dual/enlarged battery tray) heated steering wheel, defrost element for wiper blades, ceramic preheater in the cabin to get warm air whilst engine heats up, sometimes they have a baffle on the radiator to reduce cold air flowing over it until engine is warm.

i have a cheaper felt material one on my 20series, fits well, I havent stuck it down, it doesnt budge. It really helps with reflections off of the dash on the windscreen when driving, was pretty cheap on ebay

not me, I would have done so, but Im a 20 series owner, so it wasn't a priority. I did however come across some resellers of a cd/iso that claims to have even the hybrid 10series stuff - again in Japanese, but with the main indexes converted to english, so navigation is easier, the images of course are harder to modify because they were PNG format

Pffft, my 2010 has so many antennas, I wouldnt even know where to start. Its the one part of the wiring diagrams I have not been able to get.

on my door jam, there is another tyre combo listed - T165/80R17 104M So perhaps 101W is not so crazy if the overall width of the tyre has changed? edit: maybe this is my spare wheel? the pressure listed is 4.2 as opposed to 2.4

I no longer have access to the older wiring diagrams (was hosted on a russian website) But check that nothing is covering the sensors, do you have a towbar fitted?

if they went that far with the amps and screens, did they also upgrade all the speakers themselves/?

on a 2006? no - you dont have a sticky button on a keyfob?

Mine are 96H. 215/60r17 - exactly what it states on the door jam Searching for tyres, I find the higher rated ones seem cheaper, probably due to supply/demand, higher rating has to be safer, am i right?

Anti glare mirror details: m_01_0084.pdf

m_01_0026.pdf Details the auto headlamp dipping

You are right, on the alphards exported to china, they had to have auto headlamp dipping fitted, that big Boi incorporates a filter/lens to detect oncoming traffic and when within a certain range, will turn off high beams, it is setup for driving on the right hand side carriage way, so not sure if the lens setup would work on UK roads. There is an anti glare mirror that has a small sensor on the inside face, that will detect headlamps behind you and auto flip the mirror to cut glare.

Sweet mother of god!

the difference seems to be that the 20 series one can command use of the existing cruise control stalk, whereas the 10 series can have additional button installed. I think this is purely because the prefacelift 10 series had a manual wire throttle control, so it may be possible to use the 20series connectors, but I have not looked in to that.

For the 10 series, you need the slightly different model https://pivotjp.com/product/3da/3da_std.html Compatibility listed here (ANH10/15) https://pivotjp.com/download/pdf/compatibility/tha_list.pdf?date=20220506

a novel solution, well done. I want to go one step further, have an external connector in the front grill, that I can plug into, even better if I can modify the alphard logo to flip up, use a standard EV charging socket. Then, you could sneakily park in EV spots and plug in ( obviously it would not actually be a live connection from the EV charger to your car). have some animated red light near the charging socket to fool the casual observer that you are actually charging. A sneaky EV sticker on the back (Easily purchasable) and bobs your uncle, an actual external socket you can use to jumpstart or trickle charge, plus the ability to use larger parking spots if not scrutinised too closely!!!!! WHat do you think!!

So you can click on the cars to get more info, and links to catalogues (Japanese, but interesting to see the colours, trims, wheels, extras) you can see on the 2011 they added 360 cameras as an option, long before Tesla.
