Registration certificate part I, field E

Door pillar

Sticker on the B-pillar of the driver's door

Windscreen

What the decoder shows

We only show data that is actually stored in the vehicle database — nothing is estimated.

Frequently asked questions

What is the VIN?

The vehicle identification number is your car's unique ID: 17 characters that encode the manufacturer, model year, plant and equipment. No two vehicles share one.

Which vehicles are recognised?

Vehicles built for the US market — exactly the ones we stock parts for. The data comes straight from the database of the US traffic authority NHTSA.

Why are some details missing?

Because we do not make anything up. If a field — the gearbox, for example — is not stored in the database, we simply leave it out instead of guessing a placeholder.

Does the decoder replace the parts search?

No. It tells you which car you drive. You then find matching parts via the vehicle selector or the part-number search.
