Hi guys, I was on the forum last year with a 2016 F-Type R and sold it to a forum member here. I am back. Looking to unload an i8 and get back into an F-Type R.

Question: what VIN decoder are we using these days? I used to use TOPIX and I cannot sign into my old account, even with password reset, So I created a new one and when I decode a VIN as I am shopping, I see no details on the car. What am I missing here? I can't really shop without a real VIN decoder. I have an OutVIN account, but Jag is one of the only brands they do not decode.

 

I expect you're issue with TOPIX is that they now require a paid subscription, even for individual owners.
I haven't run across a free alternative.

 

OK this was correct,. thank you. Now, none of the "Categories" I can choose for a subscription include "Vin Decode".

Before jumping in and paying as much as $268 a month if I just select "All Categories", can I simply choose one Category, like Service, Bulletins, or Diagnostics and still see the options of a particular car? It might be less expensive.

 

I don't know how it compares to TOPIX but I used Monroneylabels.com. There is a nominal cost involved but it is about $7.

 

If you login without subscription, the Vehicle Summary is almost all you can view. Here's my F-Pace as an example:





If you buy time you can access the full Features specification:






Jaguar OSH (Online Service History) is used by dealers and owners in Europe to show servicing records by VIN but this isn't available in the USA.

In the UK you can download VIN-specific service schedules without a subscription.
