Hello all,

Based on my research, it appears that the ninth digit of the VIN contains information about the package (Tech, Nav Tech, etc). Does anyone know what the various codes are?

I have the following tenth digits that I am trying to determine packages for-

2006 Model Year41X021

2007 Model YearX21X7128X2X7506983

Thanks in advance!

No. The 17-digit VIN only gives info about the manufacturer, make and model, model year, body type, engine type, restraint system factory location and serial number. Some of the options/packages are added by the dealer.

As I understand it.....

The ninth digit is always a check digit. The other digits in the VIN go through a series of calculations to obtain the correct check digit. This allows computers to tell immediately if there is an error in the VIN, which often happens when someone erroneously transcribes a VIN or enters it into a computer.

If you have a helpful service advisor at Infiniti they can take your VIN number and put it into their system and come back with a build sheet that would detail the packages and options on your vehicle. but the VIN number itself contains no such information.

^^^ Best way to get accurate information. The system he uses actually shows pretty much everything you would need to know.

Awesome!!! The only problem is, I have about 50 VIN #'s! I'm going to an auction Thursday morning and we've just narrowed down by mileage and color. I'm looking for the following parameters as well:

if 2007...Beige (wheat) interior and Advanced Technology package w/ XM -OR- Premium Package w/ XM

if 2006...Beige (wheat) interior and Technology Package w/XM -OR- Premium Package w/ XM

I know its a hefty task given the very little time left but I am willing to pay for this. I will paypal you a reasonable fee for the help.

M35xtobe, how did the auction go? I am researching on Manheim various cars and it looks like I am in the same market as you are. 2007, silver/beige, advanced or tech package.

Did you have any luck figuring out if hte VIN #'s correspond or if that is in fact a dealer situation.

Any information would be helpful and PM if needed.

I don't want to start some trend but could I e-mail you my Vin and find out the package # too? I bought my car from a dealer and they have no idea about packages that Infiniti has.

Hey guys, I know this thread is quite old at this point but I find myself in a similar position. Can anybody post info on JNKBV61E77M710957 for me? I'm trying to figure out what upgrades were installed on this thing. Thanks!
