Check vehicle options from the VIN

[GTA_G20]

Does anybody have the ability to check a vehicles options based on the vin number?

Option codes are on a paper label on the underside of the frunk lid, as long as it's legible and still there.
Dealer might be able to check by VIN, but the most certain way would be to pay the $$ for a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche.

This decoder works very well and included all the options for my '03 S.

One curious thing though: They include a line for 'approximate mileage' that changes each time you enter your VIN. Strange that they include this at all since they have no possible way of knowing my mileage and they show 'approximately' 4 times what my actual mileage is.

Besides that, everything is accurate.

Probably a formula based on average driven per year. Kelly blue book used to estimate average mileage like that. Totally inaccurate for cars like these that are leisure cars.
