Oh boy, I found it! The motherlode of Toyota technical info. I had finally resigned myself to coughing up the big money for the official Toyota service manual for my Camry, and called the order #. When I asked if I could have it on CD, the nice lady said no, but there's a website that has it all, service manuals, tech bulletins, owner's manual copies, diagrams, anything they've ever published. And unlike any hard-copy manual, it's searchable!!!
It's there, and it's amazing (at least to me, in my previously info starved condition...).
You do have to pay, but it's a lot better than forking over all at once for the manual (esp when you won't use 95% of it ever). Terms (in US$): 10/one day, 50/month, or 350/year. Not cheap, but you can download and save a lot of stuff in 30 days .
Originally posted by DIRTBIKEZ I would be very surprised if you were able to actually do that. They most likely have a way of limiting logins ie. times, locations and instances.
I shouldn't imagine so. ISP's don't limit dial-up connections, regardless of where you're connecting from.
The reason for that is that you're the one paying. If you let someone else use your account, that's fine. Likewise, you're the one paying, so you do essentially have the right to login where you want.
Can I share my account?
No. The subscription terms are per individual - it is not a site license subscription. TIS prevents one User Name/Password combination to login at the same time. TIS will automatically logout a user the moment a second user shares the same User Name/Password combination to login.
EKam, not to advocate it, but that's the same with anything user-based, even token-based networks. You can't have two of the same ID's active at once. It's still possible to share an account, just that it'd mean that one person would need to get their fill, then the next, then the next.
anyways, im not about to pay for it... like anything else toyota has to offer, its very expensive. i'd rather buy the 100 dollar manual set for my specific type of car im working on and then ill have that forever...

Definitely, if you guys all slotted out time-frames for everything for one day, I'm sure it would be adequate.
AllData has the factory service manual online...and it's searchable. They also have TSB's. Does Techinfo provice anything more??? Like I would pay big for technical info about the software in their ECM's. Is that there?

I haven't been to the site mentioned so I don't know exactly how it is layed out, but isn't it possible for someone to mirror the entire site to their local drive, and then we can host it here on our server... (?)
