You can leave the contact info blank and only fill in the VIN field. It seems to work decently well. Just nice to have an alternative choice even if it doesn't work for all VINs.

it solves the issue of most of the other VIN decoders online don’t work for many of the newer VINs. Mine for example is a 2022 GLE 450 and none of the typical ones work. The one OP shared does though, so that’s for that!

Thanks. I've been looking for a good one since I needed to verify my brake package.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work for my 2021 AMG 53, but it does work for the 2019 GLC.
Thanks for posting.

Sometimes MB.vin can be flaky so it's nice to have an alternative that might work.

I assume the report is instant? I don't have a VIN to test.

Yes. I tried a few from online car ads and it definitely didn't work for all of them. Maybe 3/4s of the VINs worked.

That's a good idea, thanks. I wonder why some of those VINs didn't work. Were the cars too old?

And some are too new to appear. "Just hatched" doesn't seem to show up.

Thanks for this. I just wish I could get the color code from it.
