ODBII or JOBD diagnostic code readers for the Alphard
What fuel are you using? Are you using premium (97 ron+)? You don't need premium in the 2.4l, its used for the v6 engines that have higher compression, in order to perfect pre-ignition. Maybe you have lower compression than normal which is causing the fuel to ignite far too late and causing such poor power generation.

Caliper slide pins
Here's a video by carcarenut (Toyota specialist on YouTube) that explains the entire brake maintenance. Pins are around the 16min mark. You'll notice the pins are like you show. One has the rubber collar. He has many videos, and it's extremely knowledgeable on Toyota and lexus

You have a 20 series hybrid or a 3.5l V6? Quite a lot of difference.

What is this?
Dashboard illumination. So that the switch icon lights up with the other switches on the dash.

Front brake pad shims
Honestly, buy Toyota shims. Toyota do brake service kits that have the shims. I'm still using the original, which are designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. Some owners throw out the originals if shims are included with pads, that's usually a mistake!

Speed warning
Could you take photo of your dash? If it the newer one that has a display with a navigation menu?

Speed warning
Not seen this, makes sense because the speed limit in Japan is 60. Maybe it is configurable via the obd2 port using techstream

Yep, i removed bumper, removed reflectors, and fitted foglights in my lunch break. Took less than 30 mins, and I'm not a mechanic.

Aircon problems - newbie
I have the same error code. I've not gone any further to investigate. There is a section on the ac in the maintenance manual, but the website is offline at moment. I'll try and post it here later. I've also gone back and corrected the typos, using a mobile keyboard and it likes to auto correct incorrectly.

Aircon problems - newbie
I'm pretty sure it's the same process, this seems to be a Toyota standard from early 2000s

The clean icon is just part of the climate controls, every 10 mins it will activate the Ioniser to curb the door, clean just means it completed that cycle. Here is a helpful PowerPoint doing so the electrical systems in your 20 series. https://slideplayer.com/slide/10248235/

Aircon problems - newbie
If you want to try without waiting, this video does the steps, ignore the fact it's not same Toyota or headunit, the exact same process works. Press start button twice without brake pressed ( so it didn't start) hold auto and recirculate mode button, then start vehicle. Everything should flash, then press the circulate button for it to run through all the tests, it will count up from 1. Once it cycles to 1 again, press the auto button and your error codes will be displayed

Aircon problems - newbie
Yes. You can get an error code displayed and a test of the systems without connecting anything. I'm just shopping at moment, but give me an hour and I'll let you know which buttons to press, it should be holding the auto and recirculate button whilst car is in ign mode, but I'm confirm. It will then cycle through all the motor and airflow settings and climate mode switching and present a code where the temperature is usually displayed

Rear camera
@twcut Have to be careful with AliExpress claims. Make sure they specify original Toyota 360 degree 4 cameras (which was only 270 degree, 3 cameras before 2012) And not aftermarket 360 setups. Sometimes they give an external module that converts the output from the park assist ecu to a composite camera feed. In reality, if you are going for a Birdseye view 360 setup, you'll be better off with an aftermarket kit due to improvements in resolution and low light imaging. The claim of 360 working generally means the headunit is fitted with the module, as this is an optional module that the cheaper units sell separate, and it's required to allow the software to load.

Rear fog light
Nice. I recommend Valenti reflector/led. There are 2 bumper designs on the 20 series, so you will need to make sure to order the correct design (there are 3 design types on Valenti website) All info is on the main thread. https://uk.alphardclub.com/forums/topic/1222-rear-foglights-better-integration/
