I had previously attempted to find a downloadable version of the manual but had no luck. So I was happy to see this. Unfortunately, I does not work for me. Perhaps it is necessary to register, I thought to myself. So tried to register. But it turned out to be one of those garbage implementations. You know the kind, where you are told that the user name or password that you have chosen is invalid, but no clue is given as to which it is or why, and then when you go back and try to guess what is wrong, all of the information that you already entered has been discarded. I have encountered so many garbage web sites that do this king of thing that I just can't hardly bring myself to mess around with it. Maybe you could tell post the document somewhere so that it is easy for other people to get it.

It works without logging in. I don't have an id and I'm able to see it. Try using menu on top to go to another page and come back. Dropdownlist doesn't seem to load always.

Never mind. I managed to register and access the PDF files. There are a bunch of them. At some point some industrious person will likely combine them into a single big PDF and make it all available for download.

LOL! I'm in the process right now but I don't think I could make it available for download since some of these are huge!

A version of the manual is also available in the My Lexus app for iPhone. Go to My Lexus > Owner's Manuals > Choose Model > Choose Year. I took all of the phone-book-sized manuals out of my glove box knowing the manual is always on my phone.

Here's the iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-l...644609834?mt=8

This is totally, totally cool. After opening the individual sections in this app, you can press the arrow you see in the top right corner to open the PDF file in Safari. From there you can use the usual Safari method for opening PDF files in iBooks, and thereafter use iBooks to read the manual, if you prefer. (Or, Kindle, Chrome, etc.) For keeping in the car, the iPad Mini would probably be ideal. Very, very cool.

In addition to the information discussed in the posts above, you can also get the Lexus Enform Emulator App for the iphone. You can practice using Enform virtually before your car arrives. This either sounds exciting, pathetic, or maybe a little of both!
