Publisher Description
Application "VIN Checker" is intended to checking the correctness of VIN-number of check digit, and display information about the manufacturer and model year of the car.
A Vehicle Identification Number, commonly abbreviated to VIN, is a unique serial number used by the automotive industry to identify individual motor vehicles. VINs are normally located in several locations on a car.
Modern day VINs consist of 17 characters which do not include the letters I, O, or Q (to avoid confusion with numerals 1 and 0). One element that is fairly consistent is the use of position 9 as a check digit, compulsory for vehicles in North America, and used fairly consistently even outside this rule.
Checking the correctness of VIN-number of check digit is quite effective means of protection from hackers.
To check, you must enter the VIN into the appropriate field and click the right of this field button.
If you entered the correct VIN-number, then displays entered VIN-number ("VIN"); check result ("Status") - "Valid" (number correct); region and country of the manufacturer ("Region"); name manufacturer ("Mfr"); model year ("Year").
If number of entered characters is less than 17 or entered incorrect characters, then instead of the region, country and the name of the manufacturer, and year of release shows question marks "?", as a result of check indicates the cause of the error: number of entered characters is less than 17 ("Not enough chars!"); entered incorrect characters ("Invalid char(s)!")
If you entered an incorrect check digit or check digit calc error occurred (due to the used VIN format without a check digit or because of wrong VIN-number), then displays area ("Region") and title ("Mfr.") of manufacturer, year of release ("Year"), as a result of check ("Status") indicates the cause of the error: entered incorrect check digit ("Invalid check digit!"); error check digit test ("Failed check digit calc!").
