Hi, I changed a tail light bulb on my 2003 recently.

You might find these pictures useful for location of trim buttons, there are also 2 bolts in the handle & 2 small screws in the panel left & right just below the window (highlighted).

Also highlighted what I think will be the reversing lamps, they are probably glass wedge bulbs (W5W), the holders just twist out.

Cheers, Chris

Every vid I have seen of the facelift 10 series, only ever mentions adding the stalk.

If it was the microwave radar cruise control, then yes, you need the extra emitter and ecu.

 

If you look at the parts list for pre april 2005 alphards (pre facelift) - you will see that the control mechanism is based on mechanical connections to the throttle.

Post april 2005, the throttle is fully electric, so the additional control mechanisms are not required, the stalk literally just sends a signal to the ecu to hold throttle position and adjust to maintain wheel speed.

 

If you wanted to have the auto speed adjust based on distance from vehicle in front, that will require more electronics.

 

 

Are you saying if it's got a cable it's not just a matter of fitting an arm
