Has anyone seen this light before
Your key is too far away from the start button. You can increase this range via the obd2 port using a Bluetooth app like carscanner or techstream.

Where is the disc changer
Would help us to know what headunit you have. As standard, the 2013 had a cd slot behind the screen. You push the eject/open screen button to reveal it. Should be obvious, unless you don't have an original headunit installed.

Asking Millionth time? REPAIR / MECHANIC Manual for Alp/Vell
In a previous post, you said you had 1st to 3rd gen manuals. Are you asking how to share them?

welcab reset instruction
Maybe it is just some safety lockout. Parking brake on, Gear in park. Central locking unlocked. Does the courtesy light work when the passenger door is opened? Maybe it will not activate the swivel if it does not detect the door as open. Check any switches around door and the frame that may be jammed.

Toyota Alphard ANH20 Roof Monitor Connector Pinout?
The Toyota rear screen uses ntsc, and it's quite low resolution. You may be better with an aftermarket rear screen. What type of video out is there on the Kenwood?

Share picture of your audio system remote!
Use nail of end of butter knife to move the little section on the left, over to the right. Then you pull the battery holder out

Car Scanner
The 10 series didn't have as many modules installed, I'm not even sure you can change anything like auto light delay, or door beeps.

Full video guide on how to fit a fog lamp (OEM stalk)
Almost right. Vellfire and Alphard seem to alternate between facelifts. But the shape between the types is obvious when comparing before purchase

Center console cables
One connector is the media connection to the headunit, the other would have been to 110v power adaptors. Although it would seem your model did not have the ac inverter fitted.

Wanted Roof bars and fittings for a 2010 Vellfire
Ah. I'm sure when i ordered, it took into account the taxes i needed to pay -at least in my case, with uk import taxes.

2012 Alphard 3.5 V6 goes in gear but doesn't drive.
It's really hard without physically being there, but there are CANbus connections that are possible from the headunit, including sensing for speed, and parking brake/brake, which could create interference. As well as started previously, a physical issue of jamming/disconnecting the gear selector Sorry, you didn't say if the gear selection is displayed correctly on the dashboard when you change through the gearbox.

2012 Alphard 3.5 V6 goes in gear but doesn't drive.
Prior to this, did you make any modification involving wiring, even if not seemingly related? Does it have an aftermarket headunit fitted etc? Does the dash show the change in selected gear?

AH20 Head Unit
That head unit is stuck in Japanese. It's a JDM model number. Some later 2014 versions had English, as well as the export models (hong kong, Malaysia) That 3rd button with a G is a giveaway, as it means it is configured to connect to the Japanese data network, the export models do not have that button. That said, it has Bluetooth media and Bluetooth calling, and you can add a carplay box, and a small mod to the touchscreen that allows you to use it use your phone to display satnav etc.

Can you fit apple car play to an alphard 2006
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

Wanted Roof bars and fittings for a 2010 Vellfire
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.

Car Tax UK April 25 - what's happening?
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
-
couple of questions
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.
-
Car Tax UK April 25 - what's happening?
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.

Rear fog light location
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.

Rear Foglights - better integration
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.

Parking sensor and backup camera experiences.
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.
