Evening all,

Is there a free website / online service to get a vehicle’s options from its VIN.

I’ve got a 911 that the more I see others mine has options or differences that others do not.

Thank you

There will be a way to get the 'as built' data from the VIN, but it may only be available to franchised network / subscribers. I was able to get the full factory spec for my SLK55 from an owner's club, so you might drop lucky.

There are lots of decoding sites round - Try here: https://www.vindecoderz.com/

Only Porsche will be able to provide you with the original build spec sheet from your VIN, that’s not a free service.

Depending on age and state of car the full options code list should be on a sticker eg under the bonnet.

You probably know this OP but there should be a sticker in your service book which has all the option codes on it. It’s the same one that used to be in the boot/under the bonnet but certainly from 997 onwards it’s only in the book. Not sure quite when they stopped it.
