When you select reverse what happens - do the reversing lights come on? Is the fault the same as the reason you changed the camera? if so the problem lies elsewhere. Hopefully you have a 12v tester - a Fluke multimeter or similar As the camera should only come on when the reverse gear is selected it could be the wire isn't going live when reverse is selected - does this come from the head unit or another source? If the camera is being fed power when reverse is selected it could be the feed isn't working, so checking that cable would be another area. Lastly is the head unit itself may be the issue - check the connections are Ok and is there any menu functions that enable or disable the reverse camera?

You can pay for a CarVX report, it's not much money but there is a load of info that could be useful, particularly the recall history to check what works have been done. You can also check mile(kilometer)age to make sure that matches - bear in mind that the importer could convert kilometers to miles. Ask if an english-version manual comes with the car - if not then it may be worth getting hold of one. The one here https://www.autojapspares.co.uk/alphard-hybrid--petrol-2011-2015-owners-manualhandbook--free-service-booklet-37203-p.asp goes up to 2015 so you may need to make sure that it includes yours. Mine is a 2005 and they had a facelift then, so finding the month of manufacture may well come in handy for you. Ask if the passenger foot-well flare has been removed - I don't know what the legal / insurance situation would be on carrying that around. Oh - and check around for insurance as this can vary hugely. When you pick it up it should have an MoT and one item to check is that the rear fog lights work - Mine had a dashboard switch and a cable running to the back but it was just coiled up in the boot lid, so look for the switch on the dash or, if done nicely, on the lighting control stalk - set it to On and the walk around the back to check. They should only come on with the headlights are on (my fog light switch looks to be live all the time the car is on :-( ). That's all I can think of for now.

Have you tried amayama.com to find part numbers? For mine (2005 facelift) the part number looks to be '86790B - CAMERA ASSY, TELEVISION, FR' with additional codes for different colours From: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/toyota-japan/alphard/ANH10W/36377/body/8606

As you are on the Isle of Wight try contacting Northstar (https://northstarconversions.com/) and see if they may have one, or know of someone who might.

Not directly helpful but I would have thought the two basic options would be either one mounted to the side - by a side-door would be best so you can remove the cassette easily, or one that can be put into a separate tent, shelter or something similar to the Arpenaz Base M which can be side or rear attached.

I had mine checked earlier this year as the rear tyres were showing wear on the insides (I think) but the garage (TyrePros in Stevenage Old Town) said they were all in spec. I remember thinking at the time, when looking at the structure underneath, how on earth any of it could be adjusted in any case, as it all looked to be solidly attached together. The diagram their their alignment checker produced helped to explain it all.

Amayama.com is a good source - delivery from Japan is slow though.

That looks like it could be fabricated quite easily - is there a local engineering firm that could do it perhaps?

It's called a welcab so you could try searching for that.

This thread (and others like it) may help:

Just a guess but I would assume that is the reversing view - have you tried putting it into reverse gear?

You could start with a 'We will be at this pub / park / whatever on this date between times - hope to see other owners for a chat.' If you find somewhere to keep yourself occupied for a few hours and see what happens. Only a thought.

Does the word on the button ('Blatz'?) return anything on an internet search? I thought I would take a look - this might be helpful it's from a company called Blitz. Quote from That's the control button for a Blitz throttle controller. It basically works like the eco/pwr buttons in a gen 3. If it is hooked up and working, you can probably press it a few times to cycle through the behaviors of the throttle pedal. https://www.reddit.com/r/prius/comments/dmana8/what_is_this_bl_tz_button_on_the_left_side_of_the/ (https://www.blitz.co.jp/products/throcon/smathro.html) and looks to be a throttle controller. Looks like you need to be driving for you to see what it does (if anything - the rest may have been removed on export / import) but I would guess it swaps between Sports / Eco / Normal throttle response curves.

Just a thought - the rear has it's own air con system. You can set it by pressing the 'Rear' button on the dashboard heat controls - circled on my 10 series. i know it's basic but I thought I would check. Press the button and then set temp and fan speed etc. for the rear.

I found a local auto-locksmith who were able to read the frequency of my current key. I then bought a couple of matching blanks of the correct frequency range from the e-bay and they were able to cut and program them. It was a bit tricky as they needed to get a particular set up as the JOBD port didn't supply the correct voltage to their programmer. They got there in the end though.

I doubt it will be there but if I were find one I would treat it like a firework. If your garden is big enough put it on a paving slab, barbecue or something and light it and stand back.

Maybe not rockets, but you should check the front passenger foot-well for a road-flare - that should have been removed on import.

and May help.

Have you tried it on another vehicle? Also, to cover the basics, you need to have the engine running.

My 2005 doesn't have indicators on the wing mirrors - I suspect they are for a later model.

There is a second lambda sensor further down the exhaust - best to have the car on ramps for that, so it could be that, though I would expect a code to indicate the issue. Other things to check are the air filter, MAF, coolant levels and, just in case, the battery connections. As the temps are warmer get a JOBD compatible scanner (check the forums for suggestions), read, note down and then clear any existing codes, go for a drive - at least 10 mins to get it warmed up and when the EML lights up try the scanner again. I'm sure others will be along with suggestions but if temperatures are the key then this time of year gives plenty of testing opportunities.

What, if anything, happens when you press the button? You may need new batteries for it to work. I would suspect it might start or stop the engine, but it could be something else so that would be worth checking. As it's an after-market item you could look for matching kit in the vehicle, or do a search for Kakerukun

It's a bit long but might help.

This happens after the battery is reconnected. From the drivers seat lower the window and hold the button down once it has reached the bottom for 10 seconds, then push the button up and hold for 10 seconds when it reaches the top. Move to each window in turn and repeat. That is assuming that the fuses are all Ok and, as you say, the window control isolation switch is not active.

If you look on aliexpress (amongst others) you will find plenty of light options. It depends on what you want to achieve. There are ones that stick and others that have a tab to get inserted into the gaps in the trim.
