Thanks, I'll look into the ebay auction. The question with the model report is, will a model report for say a AH35 will work with ALL AH35s, or does it need to be trim specific. I am hoping to get a post 2019 30 series for a particular option that became standard.

I'm thinking of selling my series 20 and replacing it with a imported 30 series from Japan. Has anyone else gone through the IVA process - what did you need to do? I already know of the following: Rear fog lights and switch on the dash - I know some use one of the brake lights as a fog light for the MOT - will the IVA accept this? Speedo needs to be in MPH or is KM ok? Does Odometer need to be in miles or is KM ok? What else needs doing?

Very useful. Noticed this error (it's not standard on any Alphard, if you have it it's aftermarket: 12V Sockets: one in the rear luggage area side panel.

Stick the black end of multimeter into the chassis and the red end into each pin, maybe you'll get lucky and find a live 12v

Get a multimeter for £10 and just work it out

1. Electric Captains/Ottoman seats - no. Normal seats - yes but it's not flat so but you'll need to fill in dips with foam/fabric 2. Pointless, doesn't seem to make much difference in 99% of situations and it's another thing to go wrong 3. Anything from 18-32 MPG depending on driving conditions (i.e. no point asking as it's so varied) 4. A tad overpriced but depends on other options it has. Also, if buying from a dealer you'll have the dealer premium 5. Relatively yes, Amayama.com, local Toyota or any number of breakers around the UK. The bigger the part the more expensive shipping will be, so don't ever scratch or damage the bodywork or bumpers as you'll need to sell your kidneys, and your children's kidneys to cover the cost of shipping a bumper from Japan.

The Cybex Solution line will fit - I have 2. If you have the electric ottoman seats then getting to the seatbelt mechanism is a bit difficult if you have big hands but possible. If you have the non-electric Ottoman seats with the arm rest that lifts up you should be fine. It also helps that the Cybex Solution G I-Fix is one of the best crash test rated car seats.

If you have enough money anything is possible. I'm sure you could spend thousands getting the kit imported. Then pay a garage to fit, or pay for someone to fly over from Malaysia to fit it. If you have enough money anything is possible.

I have a inductive tone generator on order from Alixpress which will be invaluable to trace cables wirelessly in the car On another note, if you want the cleanest look for the console end panel, you'll need part number 58923-58080-A0 (A0 is beige, black is either B0 or C0). You can then buy the USB ports that snap into those cutouts.

Only when you put it in L or R position, but not in the centre

Plenty of videos on Youtube showing off the captain's seats Search for "L package". They don't turn. You can slide them forward and that's about it.

The Tesla style screens are unbranded chinese junk. Look on Alixpress - hundreds that are exactly the same but with a different brand. Don't expect them to last very long. If you're going to go for Android head unit, go for a good brand like Joying, EKIY, Atoto, Xtrons, Teyes etc

You'll need a OBD reader probably

Any ideas where the 2 wires (blue/green) goes? Anywhere near the 2 interior fuse boxes? I'm thinking to put in 12v cig lighter or USB on the rear end panel of the console.

Well I tested it, and the green/blue wire has no voltage. There's a white connector with around 8 wires, which I'm hoping is to the TV unit, but I'll need to get a toner generator to trace it.
