A VIN, or Vehicle Identification Number, is a (since 1981) 17-digit number required on every vehicle sold ever. A typical VIN will fall under this structure:
The 3rd digit will always be a 9 if the manufacturer makes/sells less than a certain amount of vehicles. In the EU, this is 500 vehicles. In North America, we're looking at 2,000 vehicles.
The 9th digit is always a check digit on vehicles sold in the United States and Canada; on vehicles sold elsewhere, it will fall under the vehicle attributes.
The 10th and 11th digits give information as to what model year and plant the vehicle has been assembled in only for North American VINs. In Europe, it would be a part of the clear identification of a particular vehicle section fuckin thing.
Unless the number of produced vehicles is under 2000 units a year, digits 12 to 17 are ALWAYS a sequential number, aka what number it has on the production line. For example, if your sequential number is 002161, your car is the 2161st one to have rolled off the assembly line. In cases where the manufacturer produces less or exactly 2 thousand units, digits 12 to 14 are a manufacturer identifier.
Well, fuck you, that's why the Flipper Zero happens to be a pretty decently sized and capable device that MANY mafuckas have as a part of their EDC (me included). Something this small and discreet can easily be used to stealthily or conveniently, depending on the assignment/use, decode and save decoded VIN numbers, amongst other things. Since decoding a VIN isn't necessarily too hard, but most services out there are online only or require a smart phone to use, having something local and guaranteed not to log anything (unless you choose to save a decoded VIN!) is an interesting take on the whole VIN decoding thing.
- VIN Decoding with support for Partial VINs;
- Decode from File or User Input;
- Save Decoded VINs to a text file;
- Support for exotic/sub-threshold manufacturers.
