Model Number decoding...

[ezflow]

VIN decoding is very helpful, but the plate in the engine compartment also has the Model Number (no not G35) that is at least as long as the VIN.
I believe it has all the options that are included for the specific vehicle.

If anyone knows how to decode this, I would appreciate it.

That page has the VIN & Engine numbers. I am looking for a legend for the MODEL number.

For example, my model number (as on the plate in the engine compartment) is:

"GLJALFMV35EUA272_ _ " (The dashes are on the plate...)

Underneath that is the Color/Trim Code: WV2G (Diamond Graphite/Aluminum, Graphite Leather)

Under that, the number code for transmission (Auto or MT).


I can't believe I'm the only one who wondered about this.... :)

Ok how about this:

Excellent! The only strange thing is the 'N" vs. "M" for 5AT.

I had always thought there were codes (maybe not on the car?) for optional factory installed systems.

I notice the example shows rear steering option (if equipped), but not LSD.
And then there is the 272 at the end of my model number, likely a code for something else.

Definitely on the right track!

thanks!
