fyi--------i found and downloaded a vin app. that scans the barcode on inside of drivers door.
all it does is shoot a photo and displays the vin #. comes in handy when you can't read the vin. bad lighting, dirty dash, ect.
it is called mobiScans

If you have an iphone you can use the free app called autoniq. Below is a screen shot of how it works.

Autoniq also has an app for Android phones.

The eight number from the right also tells you the year.

I downloaded this app and used it today for the first time to collect the VIN number and make/model info. Cool app! -works perfectly and makes copying the vin number simple in any light or tight space.

I'm confused. Eight digits from the right and ten digits from the left in the example is "T". What year does this letter represent? Oh, wait. I just noticed the "made in japan" designation. Does "T" signify the year in Japanese?

Give this a shot.... As they go through the numbers then they switch to letters and you need to look at the corispondence leter... I use to have a cheet sheet taped to my invoice holder the back in the 90's.
