VIN Decoder

Now that my new build was assigned a VIN, is there a way or website where I can decode my build to see all of the options that's included?

I already know how to and have done the F12 and Fetch/XHR method to get all the option build codes, but I thought I read somewhere that we can use our VIN to decipher all of the build options also?

Thanks in advance.

I bet if I subscribed to their service, then it will work.

You won't be able to use a VIN decoder until after assembly is complete. Until then the method you described is the only way to see all of the codes.

You can also ask your SA to print out a copy of a "Vehicle Inquiry: Design/MSRP" report. When I called and asked my SA to do it, he emailed me a pdf of it in a matter of minutes.

It will show the vehicle information and current status as well as the standard equipment/option codes and the MSRP. The nice part is it will show the package codes as well as the codes for the individual parts of the packages. Most online decoders don't show the package codes, just the actual build components.
