OK. Not much to go on then. I had a look at the pics in the eBay listing. The adapter cables look very familar so I'm fairly confident your steering wheel controls will work. All I can offer you is a link to my head unit post where's a discussion on steering wheel control switches. There's also a wiring diagram. It's just a matter of connecting three wires (SWC1, SWC2 and GND) but that's easy for me to say. By you're own admission, you're not technical so you need to find someone with some school electronics. Otherise I think you're at the mercy of the installer unfortunately. There's an possibility (but unlikely) that the installer has connected the SWC switches but hasn't programmed the steering wheel controls. Try finding the "SWC Settings" in your HU menus. Then try to program the switches. Worth a try.

Can you provide a link to the head unit's installation instructions then I can take a look at the wiring?

FYI this is how I converted a Russian Gen 1 workshop manual into English. I’m not saying it’s perfect so feel free to constructively criticise. Here's the Russian manual courtesy of @dugii. Below is what to expect in the end result. On the left is the Russian original. On the right is an English, searchable PDF but with watermarks in the corners of every page from the free version of the PDF tools. If you can’t tolerate the watermarks they can be removed by purchasing the PDF tools for £70. The first of two stages is optical character recognition (OCR). Install PDF X-Change Editor: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/pdf-xchange-editor Open the Russian workshop manual. On the 'Convert' tab, click 'OCR Page(s)'. Click 'Add/Update Languages...'. Click 'Russian' then 'Proceed'. It should be the default but make sure to select ‘Editable Text and Images’ as shown below. The other settings are optional. You might have to experiment with the accuracy if you find any problems. Select 'All' pages then 'OK' to process the whole document. Do something else for about half an hour depending on what’s under the bonnet of your PC/laptop. After completion, click 'Save' at which point the watermarks will be applied. The second stage is translation. Google Translate document size limit is 10Mb so you need to split the PDF into four docs: On the ‘Organize’ tab, click ‘Split' -> 'Split Document' and set the splitting method as 'By size less than: 10Mb'. Upload each partial document to Google Translate and translate to any language. Each one takes about 5mins. https://translate.google.com/?sl=ru&tl=en&op=docs Download the translated documents when complete. Open all four documents and click the first document to make it active. On the ‘Organize’ tab, click ‘Insert' -> 'Insert Pages'. Click the down arrow in the File field to select the second document then 'OK' Repeat for documents three and four. Save the re-combined document. Some of the pages, especially wiring diagrams, may be screwed up. For example: In this case: Click the 'Home' tab -> 'Edit Text', click on the incorrect text and hit delete. Save the document.

FYI this is how I converted the above document from an image scan to translatable text. Install PDF Exchange Editor. The free version will do. (IMHO it's way better then Acrobat Reader anyway). https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/pdf-xchange-editor On the 'Convert' tab, click 'OCR Page(s)'. Click 'Add/Update Languages...' Click 'Russian' then 'Install'. Make sure both 'English' and 'Russian' are selected. Select 'All' pages then 'OK' to process the whole document. Do something else for about an hour. After completion, click 'Save'. Now just select text in the PDF as you would normally and paste into Google Translate:

I believe the PDF in question is an image scan so not possible to select text and copy for translation. It needs some OCR software to parse it first. Here it is anyway: Also it's Gen 1. Not what you're after, right?

Amina, Sorry to hear you're having trouble but Rojie tried to help you back in June with some good questions. What was the outcome please?

There's some advice on the same question here:

I think the part number you are looking for is 8115058050. If you put that in eBay quite a few are available. e.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256208683658

I don't understand what the problem is. The part number that you're expecting appears in the web page in your link. Please clarify what you think is wrong. This seems to give the same results as PartSouq. I guess they're using the same database: https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/genuine/unit?c=TOYOTA00&ssd=%24*KwH1wdDTlb-GpLf-k4Ly1a25mZ6A8f7z8uDP_LSygZWJjY-Myd7ymLaytoeRiJnfwsj1_ICMl46AkdqwxJG4r4C85LXhpLLW5erjo-X89b7g5eWjhrripK-l4aSkoOWgqKTl_OP7qqO95erjqank--GmpLnw8veH5bu_tff0zLzkoqPl_OHhqaG59vfx4uvm46rqsrbn5JGBlYeM4bKwrqql4_rn5ICX1qG8kOuRhp-Bg-GysK6xpeP65-Tz9qnHruvm46auouP5vqHxAAAAALPAVNI%3D%24&vid=0&cid=&uid=365000&q= I Googled the engine code 2AZ-FXE and found that it was used in the Camry: https://autospruce.com/toyota-2az-fxe-engine/ More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Camry_(XV40)#Hybrid

It's the same part number. You can see this in the screenshot above.

Thanks for letting us know how you did it.

Yes but he describes how he removed it, starting with the two screws at the top. Are you saying you don't have screws at the top in a similar position?

I woudn't have thought it's much different to the Gen 1. See this video for some clues at 1:10.

You should be safe. The key will physically unlock the door. Nothing will prevent you from doing that AFAIK.

How about this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185761952191

Thanks for reporting back. Did you use the eBay seller in the link (Boston MotorCool)? Whoever you used in the end, please confirm so we can all bookmark them as a decent supplier.

I got an emission test result with my MOT in Spetember. I don't think anything's changed so perhaps have a word with your tester.

Not much to go on John. Is the ticking regular? What frequency? Whereabouts, in the cabin or from engine bay? Everything working as normal?

You could try Google Lens Translate to get you up and running: https://lens.google/intl/en-GB/#translate

Try a reset by disconnecting and reconnecting the -VE battery terminal.

I see. Ok,thanks.

The other option if the vehicle cannot be driven regularly is to disconnect the battery or fit an isolator to remove the quiescent current drain. https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/victron-energy-onoff-battery-isolator-switch-with-removable-actuator-275a.html This one also improves resistance to theft. Of course you will have the problem of resetting windows and radios etc.

Thank you but am curious why we have to PM you? Why not publicly post the link anyway?
