I'm not making a recommendation, as i don't have an older 10 series. But you can buy relatively cheap headunit from AliExpress. Eg. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EIwOv40

Create a amazon.co.jp account, ( you can set it to English and £, then look for carmate inno roofrack parts for alphard h20 or terzo parts You can buy regular square adaptors or aero design. You can save money on shipping by only buying the foot pack and brackets, and buying the actual bars from the uk, Thule are compatible.

I imagine the same. It's an import, so will fall into the same tax bracket. Although i don't open a hybrid, so i could be wrong Without an officially published emissions cert, it will be closed as an import PLG tax class 39

Headunit frequency range is locked. I imagine the actual antenna there can be replaced with euro spec versions, although it seems very often JDM and Euro parts have different standards of connector.

It's a fixed import rate, which is considerably less than a euro equivalent. If it was categorised correctly, you'd probably be paying over £480, so don't rock the boat. 12 months for a 2010 3.5lt was £345 this month, vs £295 in 2023.

I've seen on a few Russian Toyota, and on the Japanese yahoo groups. It was something i had thought of installing, for full oem, but the cost of the components and shipping were greater than the valanti retroreflectors.

Use the wiring diagrams from the thread i linked. You could also go to the Japanese site i linked that has the full manual. You should be able to recover the oem wiring and tap into the correct switched positive Unfortunately, i don't have access to a 10 series to actually confirm the wiring for you. I would suggest the enhanced light stalk would not be compatible, unless you ran new wiring, and changed or modified the clock spring too.

You have aftermarket camera or headunit? You are right, that does not look good, it's like it doesn't have a low light setting.

Check this thread out, for the 10 series. https://uk.alphardclub.com/forums/topic/1250-is-that-the-rear-fog-light/#comment-7034

10 series is different. The winter pack edition foglight is actually on the boot door. The drivers side light assembly should have an additional connection that utilise a dual filament bulb. I posted about it on my long multipage post a few years back. It's possible to intercept that wire in the rear loom. The 10 series did not have a rear fog position lighting stalk, it has a switch on the panel to right of steering wheel.

You won't be able to. It really is easier to remove bumper, don't try and remove the wind baffle boxes under the bumper, you still won't get enough space to get a screwdriver in without chewing up the screw head.

What type of bulb do you have in numberplate lamps? My rear camera is almost like nightvision. Do you have a photo? I'll grab one from mine tonight

Look at the knowledge base section of the following group vaug.club You can download a manual, and a file called SDS (service data sheet) that is a simple document losing the oil, sparkplug, coolant, wheel alignment data

What head unit do you have? You can adjust the distance they start screaming at you. My Alphard has 4 rear sensors, not just the corners. You can calibrate the camera from the headunit. With engine running, and lights off, hold the top right physical button on the headunit, and flick lights on and off 3 times to enter service menu. Use a translator app like Google translate, you can navigate to the camera settings.

There are basically 3 designs across the 10/20/30 series. That shape is a Type 2.

You can buy blanks as well as a dual usb unit from places like aliexpress Something like this (cheaper options are available) I just found this on AliExpress: Alphard Vellfire Interior Accessories https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGqantm

Excellent work, simbad. A little daunting to remove the steering wheel at first, but it is so much nicer to have the original Toyota control and telltale indicator on the dash. You also get the added benefit that the rear fog will always return to off position if you turn off ignition.

If you have an etc unit in the small coin box to the right of steering wheel, you can grab an illumination and a switched live connection from the socket, it's not useful as an etc unit in the uk.

Pm your email address, you can grab a copy of the diagrams

How are you parking? Put vehicle in neutral, before the parking brake is applied, otherwise the gearbox is under tension against the parking pawl pin.

Hi and welcome. Just some observations. You say you have a v6 4wd? That would be ggh25, not ah20. Ah20 is a 2.4lt. The throttle should be smooth with no lag, i could easily wheel spin my v6 when pulling off from a junction, until i learned to be more gentle. The new dash clock is obviously the wrong one. There are minor differences. TRC off is traction control off, operated by the button that looks like a skidding car. 8 have square plate at front, the bumper is cutout for that design. Random switch may be the rear fog lights fitted to comply with uk rules, it's possible to replace with the correct Toyota switch or a new indicator stalk that has both front and rear foglights positions.

The 4x4 symbol is present on all, regardless of if the vehicle has it. If you do have 4x4, There will be a button on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel

Relay needs installing in the factory socket, passenger side footwell. Fuse is usually fitted, drivers side footwell. You can use the existing socket located on the sonar sensor loom on the driver's side ( photos of all this is available on previous posts) You can add two pins to the existing socket ( the side that attachs to the fog lamp, both the male and female sides were present on 3 alphards i have done, so just add two pins from summer other cheap connector from eBay) I agree, the oem rear fog looks naff, but I'm sure it's actually the entire quarter panel that attaches to the rest bumper, so it's cost will be greater than valenti. Edit. I was wrong about the quarter panel it seems, maybe I'm mixing it up with 10 series winter kit fog
