Found a Repair Manual Site - LEGIT??

[SumpChump]

Help me determine if this site is legit. It says they have a manual for the '13 Camry and on their main forum they have keygens and codes for others apparently.

I emailed for a "invitation code" to be a member and thus to eventually browse the forum and ....get the repair manual download.... but they want $10 for the "invitation code" for membership.

LEGIT? (as in will I actually GET anything successfully for a manual download?

Don't do it. Take it from someone who works in I.T. Ask yourself this; if I gave a complete stranger complete access to my PC that I would be doing this "transaction" on, would that be a problem???

You can go the genuine Toyota Corporation site and for $10 a day have access and download and keep all you want.

Really!? Like wiring diagrams zoomable?

I've never seen that portal. I guess I just missed it.

I'm not questioning this comment, but:

How are you giving them access to your computer ? ? ?
From reading the e-mail that contained the Code ?
From paying the $10.00 ?
From downloading the documents ?

I try to learn from others mistakes.
Please briefly explain.
Thanks.

And when I was born, no one had computers.

Is this just downloading illegal copies?

Yeah, I was wondering that.

"keygen" and "legit" are never used in the same sentence. Run, don't walk away.

Buy a 2 day Toyota TIS account for $15, all the repair files are PDF so download them all on your free time.

 

[michaelluscher]

$10 gets you full access to the forum and its download links

Pay with PayPal

yea except these "pirates" (thieves is a better term) can't even make the lame argument that they're just making a "copy" that didn't result in any loss to the original party.

If I wanted the repair manual, I'd just pay the $15 for the TIS and set aside time to get all the documents I wanted.

 

[SumpChump]

I read that the Toyota TIS are no longer PDF but instead EWD (whatever file format that is) for newer models which is supposedly very hard to save. I cant find anything on EWD but that it might mean Enterprise Web Development of Enterprise Work Bench.

I found one post on Club Lexus saying...."Get a Print to PDF program (such as doPDF) and print the sections to PDF's. To save the EWD's, go into the EWD and click print and it will open a PDF version of the diagram you are in, including connectors. You can then save it."


Any thoughts?

 

[raytseng]

EWD stands for electrical wire diagrams it's not a format, it just means the diagram. I think you're still going to get PDFs, but they've split up all the pages of the pdf; so you got to print-to-file to save like each page one at a time.
This is where you pay your child or a neighbor's kid $10 to save all the files for you.

Ah that explains it.
