I was just out on AutoAtlanata's website and looked up my vin and it returned the following codes

m418 side moldings
m438 comfort seat
m484 sym and lettering for switches and inst
m650 elec sunroof

there were three it could not find definitions for any ideas

I455
I468
I471

vin is WP0JA0926CS822073

Vilhuer

M455 Wheel locks
M468 Graduated tint windshield, green side glass
M471 Sport group 1 = Competition package = S model spoilers

PET is somewhat stupid system. Some option are listed with I and it can't find what they mean. When same code starts with M it will find it. I codes are probably part of some package and thus they have different letter.

Thanks for the info

i wrote a set of perl scripts to decode most of the option codes... remove the letters up front and enter the numbers here: www.928codes.com

What do you do for a pre '81 vin code? My vin does not have the extra letters and I have yet to find a way to decode it. I believe my car was originally delivered in Canada. The Vin Decoder lists it as a euro with a 4.7 l engine, but it is not based on the engine code and the owners manual that came w/ it. The vin code is....

92A0910417

'80 MY 10 digit long VIN can be converted to 17 digit long VIN. In case of 92A0910417 its WP0ZZZ92_A0810417 if second 9 is actually 8. Using that 17 digit VIN in PET gives following options:

C36 Canada
M261 Passenger side mirror electric plain
M389 Porsche-car radio, CR stereo, type USA
M401 Light metal wheels
M490 Hi-fi sound system
M533 Alarm system
M900 Tourist delivery

So its normal 4.5L 5sp North American model originally sold in Canada and picked up from Stuttgart by the first owner. Probably was driven pretty fast at autobahns before it was shipped to Canada.

Decoder messes up early MY stuff pretty badly. It thinks all '80-82 ROW cars have 4.7L engine. With typo in VIN it seems to think US model is ROW also.

Thank you

I have a code 046 which I can't find? 1990 GT

Vilhuer

It has been in list of unknown codes for long time. One suspicion is that it means Bridgestone tires. Some '89-90 GT's have it while others do not.

Anyone know how to decode my two 928's?

92A0811391

9289201828

I'd like to see my option codes. Currently only get basic info.

Vilhuer

Using 17 digit VIN format WP0ZZZ92_A0811391 brings these for '80 MY US automatic:

C02 Rest of USA, not California
M249 Automatic transmission
M261 Passenger side mirror electric plain
M401 Light metal wheels
M437 Comfort seat left, electrically adjustable
M438 Comfort seat right, electrically adjustable
M563 Automatic air conditioner
M650 Sunroof

Same info is not available for '78-79 MY cars.
