FAQ

Where is the VIN located?

The VIN can be found on the driver's side dash near the windshield or on the driver's side door.
There is no Scan button. Scanning was added to version 3.0. Scanning is only available for iPhone3GS and 4 users. It requires an autofocus camera. Scanning is also availble for the iPad3.
The VIN won't scan. Follow the tips on the scan screen. Hold the phone steady 3-5 inches away from the VIN and give your camera time to autofocus. Make sure there is enough light. Reduce glare on the VIN.
Why wasn't the VIN valid? ALL VINs are 17 characters long. There are no letters I, O or Q. The I is a 1, the O is the number zero.
The VIN I see has less than 17 characters. The VIN Inventory app will automatically decode VINs for North American cars and light trucks made after 1981. Coverage is light for older vehicles which are beyond their expected service life.
The VIN wasn't found. Our VIN database has over 30,000 entries and is updated regularly. The vehicle may have just come on the market or it may be an unusual foreign vehicle for which we do not collect data. Or, it may be an older vehicle which is rarely found still in service.
The vehicle equipment list is short. The vehicle list scrolls on both the display screen and the detail screen.
The equipment list was missing items or had extra items.

Every effort is made to include the standard equipment for the model. We do not guarantee that every option found on the vehicle will be listed, or that every equipment item on the list is present on the vehicle

Please review the actual vehicle to verify the equipment listed.
