Feature ยท VIN scanner

FAQ
VIN scanner questions
Does the VIN decode cost anything?
No. It uses NHTSA's free public vehicle database. Decoding needs a signal; the rest of the app works offline.
What if the scan won't read or there's no signal?
Type the VIN, or pick year, make and model from NHTSA's list, which is kept on your phone for offline use. You can always fill the fields in by hand.
What if I mistype a VIN?
The app checks the VIN's check digit and won't save one that doesn't add up.
