Anybody else downloaded this manual, is it complete etc.? I'd like to buy one...need one for my '01 Camry even more... but want to make sure this is for real. Thanks for your patience.

If I remember correctly it was $11.99 for the PDF download, $16.99 for an ISO and $24.99 for a pressed disc.

 

This manual appears to be arranged numerically which makes no sense. It took me about 20 minutes to preview each folder and assign it a name that makes sense.

Within each folder are anywhere from 3 to 30 files of various components and procedures within. They too are listed numerically. and I have decided to rename them on an as-needed basis. For example, today I am concerned with brakes. So I'll spend another 15 minutes renaming the files within that folder.

It's a bit of a pain. But far less painful than the mugging I get at the stealership.

Second issue... Since it comes from Germany, this manual is for European spec cars. So some things are mirror image, like the steering column, brake reservoir, etc. all that stuff is show on the passenger side. No biggie, just wanted to mention it.

 

I think all of Europe has the steering wheel on the left side, per North American. Maybe Brit.?

 

More likely it is the Japanese home market, as they use right hand drive in Japan.

 

The dealer refused to turn off that $%^& seatbelt chime. If anyone has a solution (other than cutting wires) it would be appreciated.

 

Go to another dealer, they cannot refuse.

 

My normal dealer refused to shut off the seatbelt dinger stating that it was against "state and federal law". I called his bluff and made him escalate it up the Toyota chain. Two weeks later, he said I was correct, but that he'd charge me the "half the normal price" of $110 to shut it off (so $55).

I went to a new dealer who shut it off for free and they now have my business.

The only problem is that if you disconnect the battery, you lose the setting.
