VIN Decoder

Decode Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) to get exact torque specifications for a specific vehicle.

What is a VIN?

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code that identifies a specific vehicle. It contains information about:

  • Manufacturer and make
  • Model and variant
  • Year of manufacture
  • Engine type and specifications

How to Use

Enter the 17-character VIN in the VIN decoder field. The VIN can be found:

  • On the vehicle's registration or title
  • On the dashboard (visible through the windshield)
  • On the driver's side door frame

Example: JTHBK1GG5M2012345

What Happens Next

After entering a VIN, DriveSpec will:

  1. Decode the VIN to extract make, model, year, and other vehicle information
  2. Search the database for matching vehicle variants
  3. Display results - If multiple variants match, you'll be able to select the exact one
  4. Show specifications - Once selected, you'll see the exact torque specifications

Multiple Variants

Sometimes a single VIN can match multiple vehicle variants (e.g., different trim levels). In these cases:

You'll see a dropdown list of all matching variants. Select the one that matches your vehicle to get the exact specifications.

If only one variant matches, it will be automatically selected and displayed.

VIN Format

VINs must be exactly 17 characters long and can contain:

  • Letters (A-Z, excluding I, O, Q)
  • Numbers (0-9)

Note: VINs are case-insensitive. You can enter them in uppercase or lowercase.
