Car Forum / Lexus Cars / February 2007rx300 Owner's manual
Please > Please Sadly I cannot find a Lexus USA equivalent to the Toyota Material Distribution center: http://smg.toyotapartsandservice.com/pubs.php?v=&y=&int_id=&done=1 However, if you have a decently fast internet connection, lots of patience for downloading lots of tiny files, and a PDF viewer, then you may want to get a 1 day subscription ($10 or 10 euros) to your appropriate source and download all of the manuals/recall info/TSBs you want: http://techinfo.lexus.com/ http://techdoc.lexus-europe.com/ > However, if you have a decently fast internet connection, lots of > patience for downloading lots of tiny files, and a PDF viewer, then > you may want to get a 1 day subscription ($10 or 10 euros) to your > appropriate source and download all of the manuals/recall info/TSBs > you want: I tried that, and at least for the service manuals, all they give you is one page at a time, which comes via a horrid Web interface requiring much clicking and pointing, password protection, etc. Is there some way to just download the whole service manuals there? > m...@kluge.net writes: > > However, if you have a decently fast internet connection, lots of [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Is there some way to just download the whole service manuals there? hence why I suggested having lots of patience... or an installed version of wget. >> Is there some way to just download the whole service manuals there? > > hence why I suggested having lots of patience... > > or an installed version of wget. None of that helps. Literally thousands of pages, and no way to list static links. I suspect you haven't actually tried it. > m...@kluge.net writes: > >> Is there some way to just download the whole service manuals there? [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > I suspect you haven't actually tried it. Owner's manual, New Car Features, TSBs, I had the patience to download myself (for the Prius, not the RX300). I didn't have the patience to get the repair manuals and electrical wiring diagram myself, though, far too many little files... Unless Toyota has recently changed the techinfo site, it is possible to set up wget to get the entire repair manuals and EWD (all those many tiny files). I got my electronic copies of the Prius' RM and EWD from at least 2 other people, both of which used wget or a newer version of Acrobat to download it all for them. There is even some pages up for how to download the Prius files yourself with a listing of the directory structure... http://priuschat.com/index.php? s=&showtopic=18102 , http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=16069 , http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/cars/TIS/ But yeah, the TIS file structure and download procedures are a real pain. Here's another person's take on it: http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/cars/toyota-tis-sucks.txt > http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/cars/toyota-tis-sucks.txt OK, that's an elaborate explanation of exactly what I observed. I did manage to wget the wiring diagrams with some tedious effort. The service manual was effectively impossible, being locked up in a search- results regime that returned only a small number of pages at a time. |
