I was wondering the same. It's a must for any DIYers.

I bought them at Lexus dealer... cost around $100 (slightlye more or less) for each book. There are total of 2 books, volume 1 and 2.

I actually bought the manual for 2000 RX300, 'cause that's what my dealer has in stock. I don't think there's any difference yet (I could be wrong)...

I don't think you need to get the volume 1, since most of it is for diagnostic... the 2nd volume has everything else....

Here's the "Content page" from the Volume 2. The "BOLD" lines are all volume 2. The "faded" ones are volume 1....

Spinteews,

K40 is a radar/laser detector... similar to Escort, Valentine, BEL, etc... except this particular model is installed so that it's completely hidden...

Here's their website for more info in case you're curious...

Hey guys, How much for the K40??? When I was my Lexus Service I was reading up about it and they said they'll do it for I think something like $1,500. installed.... It was awhile ago so I'm not really sure of exact price...

well, it can be expensive... that's the problem...

I checked around local shops, for example:

I think the retail price of the unit itself (UN3000SW) is about $599-$699....

Car Toys sell them for about $1100 installed
Innovative Audio sells them for $2000 installed...

Or, you can buy the unit off ebay (there's one right now asking for $449)

or internet shops, then install afterwards. Car Toys or any other regular shops may charge around $300 for install

WOW! So call around and compare prices...

Or, another good alternative that I like is the Valentine One...
