Vin decoder

I received the vin for my 2016 C63. I thought that I read about a vin decoder but cannot find it. Is there one?

Thanks

The forum has one here, but it's not very good.

Try this one, it at least shows package numbers.

How long does it usually take to get your VIN once your car goes into production?

My car is supposedly in production but my dealer can't confirm the exact production date nor provide me with a VIN. Only info he has is that the car should be delivered in a couple of weeks.

Ask him what the NETSTAR status code is. Here is a cross section of codes, there are a few more that I noticed but these will give you a way to pin point your status:

A4 FINAL SUPPLIER ORDER/SCHEDULED NOT PRODUCED
B0 19 DAYS TO PRODUCTION
B1 13 DAYS TO PRODUCTION
B3 NO CHANGES POSSIBLE
B4 2 DAYS TO COMPLETION
B5 PRODUCTION COMPLETE
B7 AT PORT/READY TO BE SHIPPED
B8 ASSIGNED TO SHIP
C1 SHIP DEPARTED
C2 SHIP NOTIFICATION/ON WQTER
CS SUMITTED TO CUSTOMS
C3 CLEARED CUSTOMS
C4 AT PORT
D1 VPC RECEIVED
D2 SURVEYED AT VPC
D3 POTENTIAL DELAY
D4 READY TO DELIVER
D5 RELEASED TO CARRIER
D9 WHOLESALE/CONSIGNMENT PENDING
F1 WHOLESALED AND INVOICED
I1 RETAIL

You are probably B3 or B4, by B5 you will be able to get your VIN.

VIN is assigned when your car hits status "B4".
