Need VIN Decoding

1QuikWS6 · 07-09-2010, 04:48 AM

According to dealer, my car does not have CA - yet if I press/hold the unlock button on remote - all windows & sunroof will auto open?

Mebbe this is a standard feature, and has nothing to do with CA, but I would still like to have an accurate description of car build via VIN#

I tried the VIN Decoder on ECS Tuning site - but it keeps stating 'Invalid VIN#' which is just crazy, since I know it's correct as I have VIN# to order parts.

Anyone have another site to try for VIN Decoding (other than going the local dealer)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't know how to decode your VIN, but I also do not have CA and I can open windows/sunroof by holding down the unlock button on the remote. I think that feature is there regardless of the CA option.

The feature you're speaking of is standard across all models for years. As far as a VIN decoder you're going to have to go through various pay sites if you want more detail other than your model, model year, color, plant manufacturered.
