Re: VIN DECODE
Turns out one was a Canadian vehicle, Tesla does not vin decode. Also some of the new 2022 Explorers- could be because they are Police interceptors thoough.timbre4 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2023 1:39 pmThe current Manager SE 8.5.1.419 release includes these makes for 2023.

1. Check the version # in the lower RH corner of the screen - should say MANAGER SE 8.5.1.419
2. Sounds like you're on an earlier version; go to Help menu > Check For Updates.
3. Download and install the update.

Re: VIN DECODE
Right, vehicles built for sale in the US will decode. Certain law enforcement vehicles are excluded.brakefamily wrote: ↑Thu Nov 16, 2023 11:33 amTurns out one was a Canadian vehicle, Tesla does not vin decode.

Getting very close on TESLA repair info now; just waiting on legal go ahead.
The current release at the moment is SE 8.5.2.670; next release expected in December and that will have a DMV update as well.

Re: VIN DECODE
Vehicle information when serial number is entered is not being recognized or a valid vin number. Most of these seem to be import brands like Nissan, Mazda, Toyota etc.
When this happens Pro demand is unable to search labor times, procedures etc. We continually have to log in to the online portal of Mitchell Pro Demand for this information.
Quite often i am finding the lack of information and links to information are not up to par. Many of these are vehicles over 5 years old and this information should be available within the program/ program links. I am hoping there will be updates to fix these issues and will keep watch for them.

This appears to be missing from our VIN tables; I inquired about this. Should have a reply early next week.
Decoded externally, that VIN returns as a 2007 Mazda B4000 pickup.

Re: VIN DECODE
Can you give us examples of vins that will not decode?

Re: VIN DECODE
I also have bumped into this issue however, I do not have a specific VIN to give you. This being the case, I have myself a note to send VIN to you or at least call to discover if the issue is simply our computer or if there is a deeper problem.
Thanks for a great product! We rely on Mitchell every single day here.

Re: VIN DECODE
This VIN omission has been corrected.
It should appear in the next monthly ProDemand deployment and the next Manager SE release sometime after that.

Re: VIN DECODE
Nothing found "in the wild"; found under NHTSA site. Forwarding this VIN to our team.

Re: VIN DECODE
RESULTS: This vehicle was intended for sale in Canada; our current scope is vehicles intended for sale in the U.S. so this one will not currently decode on our platforms.
