The vehicle identification number (VIN) refers to a unique code that is given to each vehicle. The VIN is basically a vehicle's fingerprint, as no two vehicles have the same VIN. A VIN is composed of 17 characters. Each character is used to reference the vehicle's unique features, specifications, and manufacturer.

The VIN is coded in your vehicles modules, more importantly in your vehicles security / skim / pats system. The VIN is what allows us to program the module so that it can arrive in simple plug and play conditions.

You can locate the VIN (17-digit identification number) there is a small plate on the bottom corner of the driver’s side dashboard you can see it through windshield. You can also find it inside the driver’s door. It can also be found on the title, registration, or insurance card of the vehicle.

While entering your Shipping information during the checkout process there is a text field titled "VIN" where you can add the number before you pay.
