  1. https://slideplayer.com/slide/10248235/ Contains all the customisable functions in the 20 series. Lights, Aircon, windows, doors, buzzers.
  2. Techstream, or the Android/apple app 'car scanner' with a Bluetooth obd2 dongle will allow you to adjust the delay before lights turn on or off, there is also 5 sensitivity settings, although those seem to have very little effect.
  3. Depends on what model you have. Is the etc box in the little coin box on the right side of dash? If so, just keep pressing the volume down button that is on it, until it mutes.
  4. Depends on what you are willing to pay, and what you want. You can have standard usb, or the newer usb c. Here's a cheap one that does not require you to cut wires, you remove the plug from cig lighter and it connects in parallel.

  5. I've seen the official instructions from the usa for this paint recall, it advises using packaging tape to 'pull test' the adherence of the paint, along the edges of the peeling until you get to a solid bond. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10170718-9999.pdf
  6. No problem. It is quite intimidating at first, as the amount of force required seems like you will break something. The only trim you need to be careful with, it's the wood effect trims, the tabs are quite brittle, so using decent tools is required.
  7. They offer shipping to UK. Also I've seen UK based that offer similar service

  9. Yeah, i need to do mine, plus the paint between windscreen and sunroof. I did find colour matched wrap, bit not used this, not sure if it's as they state. https://www.colorxlabs.com/products/color-match-wrap-vehicle-wrap-that-matches-oem-paint-color
  10. In a few hours i can post an image or video clip, if you can wait
  11. Not required on 20 series, the button is captive.
  12. Oh. I don't recognise either of those units, so both aftermarket. I can't help personally, so hopefully others here have experience with them.
  13. Good job, and thanks for the instructions for accessing the pins on the steering wheel connector, for those not changing stalk. On my reflector lights, there is a dim setting, which i keep meaning to connect to my front driving leds, so that i always have illumination up to the point the auto headlights kick in. At least your fog is visible, the one the dealer fitted to mine was the size of the reverse sensor, and was drilled through my reflector to attach. It was literally a single led that provided as much illumination as the switch on the dash. I couldn't wait to tear it out. I was going to go with LEDs in the towing covers, too, originally.
  14. Are you trying to play movie on front screen? Standard Japanese regulations mean it won't play on funny screen of the car is moving and parking brake not on. You can bypass this, but it involves cutting 2 wires, you can either wire them permanently to bypass safety Freddie on headunit, or fit switch like many alphards seen to have fitted aftermarket
  15. Is this one of those parts where taking the code to Toyota and getting then to order it on ends up being cheaper?
  16. Its quite a hard tug you need to give on lower edge, it will seem like you are going to break trim. I grip the storage pocket and hard tug towards you.
  17. Looks like the following. If did have the both parts of the connector present on mine, with the unused half having blanking rubbers in the holes, so you could just add the pins from that kit to the existing socket
  18. Clinging on to life at this point, you are looking at upto 20 years old. If you must have a hybrid, factor in this first. The other thing to look at is the cooling system, these are often neglected. I would buy a 20 series or later, as these changed to the synergy system, unless you really must have a 10 series, in which case mileage may play a part.
  19. Other than parking a few inches further out? If you have children, put child lock on so they can't accidentally open door and hit kerb
  20. I commute from Devon to South east London, if i go via Honiton, i quite often hit patches of mist and fog along the a303
  21. I actually tried that route myself, you only have a couple of inches of space to try and undo the screw holding the reflector. On mine, the screw head just rounded off, as it had some corrosion, i couldn't get enough of an angle. Your may have better luck.
  22. Might be an idea to share an image of what your console currently looks like, because if the original was replaced, the surround may have been swapped out, too. Its possible to buy units that come with a completely new surround, but we need to know what the problem is with your current surround.
  23. It would help to post an image of your existing units, as we don't know if standard or aftermarket..
  24. I bought something like this a few years back YaoFaFa 925PCS Bumper Retainer Clips Car Plastic Rivets Fasteners Push Retainer Kit 26 Types Auto Push Pin Rivets Set- Door Trim Panel Fender Clips https://amzn.eu/d/eK6lcDN
