Anybody - Are there any significant differences in '05 v. '06 service or wiring diag manuals?

Thanks.

Yes on the service, not sure on the wiring.

The 05 has many typos and incorrect info. Many of them are listed here on the Forum.

Thanks! My car is an '06, so I won't rely on the '05 manuals.

I bought the Helm (www.helminc.com) '06 version on CD. There is a hack to be able to run it without the disc installed. So far it's been accurate for the mechanicals. The only electrical thing I'm looking for is the radio connector which is supposed to be impossible to find but low on the priority list. Planning another Grand Canyon Colorado River trip so the car might sit for a while.

16 days at the bottom of the Canyon up close and personal with the rapids of the Colorado River. My favorite place on the planet and my 6th time.

05-06 cars differ in that 05 had rare grilles in the earlier ones, and 06 had different clamshell adjusters....

Manuals are almost identical with the typos to what Frank said earlier being cleaned up in 06...

The 05 grill save you from using dental tools to get the bugs out of the a/c condenser. :lol

What is the best source for a hard copy 06 shop manual? I see some on eBay, amazon etc. Seem to go for about $175. does that seem like the right price?
