Hello. Any good advice welcome on 1999 Camry LE 4 cyl w 101000 miles. Just did timing belt, 2 drive belts, xmsn flush, oil change, air filter. Will do fuel filter, coolant change, and spark plugs soon. Need to (a) get owners manual (b) determine if car has remote keyless entry system* (c) find good reasonable source for rf window regulator & motor, (d) purchase "best" service manual (Chilton, Haynes or ??) so your ideas would be useful to this Toyota neophyte. Also any tips on any additional maintenance I should do? Thanks a lot. Seems like a nice, well designed vehicle.

*vehicle has some sort of aftermarket alarm with disabling switch - what a pain that was (is I guess). Plan to go by alarm installer shop to see what's what.

If you're going to get a service manual, get the best. You can obtain them from the Toyota Materials Distribution Center, 1-800-622-2033.

I've found the others such as Chiltons, severly lacking. Yet, they're expensive, but worth it. The first (or maybe second) time you use it you've just paid for it.

Also, you can search for keyless entry programming on this site. Do the procedure, and you'll know if you have a keyless entry on your car.
