Let's see why that string of numbers is so important and what it means. To put it simply, that string of numbers is the car VIN code, also called the frame number and vehicle identification number, commonly known as 17-bit code, which consists of 17 characters. The VIN code is a car's ID card, just like a person's ID card, and the VIN code of each car is different.
The first three digits of the frame number are the information indicating the manufacturer, which is called the world manufacturer code. For example, LSV means Shanghai Volkswagen.
4-8 digits represent the characteristic information of the automobile, such as vehicle type, brake, transmission or engine, etc. Different manufacturers are different, such as the frame number lsvAM4 187c21xxxxx, in which am418 respectively indicates that the vehicle model is LaVida, the body form is K8B-four-door folding body, and the power system is
The 9th bit is the parity bit, which only checks the accuracy and rationality of the whole VIN code.
The number 10 is the information of vehicle production year (ex-factory), 0~9 means the production year is 2000~2009, and A~C means the production year is 20 10~20 12. Here c stands for 20 12 factory delivery.
The number 1 1 indicates the origin information of the vehicle, where the number 2 indicates that the vehicle is produced by Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Anting Factory).
And the numbers 12~ 17 indicate the serial number of the car, without other meaning.
After reading the explanation of this string of figures, do you regret not knowing it in advance? It feels like you leaked a lot of information. In fact, even if this string of numbers is blocked now, the license plate number can't be blocked. You can also find a lot of information from the license plate number. The information that can be found through the frame number is simpler from the license plate. That's why I said that shielding has little effect, but for the sake of safety, what should be shielded should be shielded.

Frame number, abbreviated as VIN in English and vehicle identification code in Chinese, is a set of character numbers specially formulated by automobile manufacturers to identify a car. The frame number of the family car generally appears in the following positions: under the front windshield of the driving side; Motor vehicle driver's license; Driver's doorpost; Engine compartment nameplate; On the insurance policy and so on.
The frame number consists of 17 letters and numbers. By identifying the frame number, we can find the relevant information of automobile manufacturer, chassis serial number, engine and other performance. Because the frame number is unique and unrepeatable, the frame number can also be regarded as the "ID number" of the car.
The number 1 represents the country of production;
The second number represents the manufacturer;
The third number represents the type of car;
Numbers 4-8 represent the characteristics of cars;
The ninth number is the inspection position;
The number 10 represents the factory date;
The number 1 1 represents the assembly place, and 0 represents the original factory assembly;
The number 12- 17 represents the serial number of production. When an automobile factory recalls a car, it generally recalls it directly according to the serial number segment;
Since the frame number is so unique, and you can also inquire about the specific information, insurance and maintenance information of the vehicle, should you cover the frame number on weekdays?
Let's put it this way: I like to watch some traffic police videos on weekdays. In these videos, it has appeared more than once that the traffic police will remind the owner to take away the things that block the frame number in front of the windshield when dealing with illegal vehicles, so we can roughly judge from this detail that the significance of blocking the frame number is not great.
If there is a great risk of revealing the frame number, the traffic police will not order the owner to remove obstacles, and the car manufacturer will not easily put the frame number in such an obvious place as the front windshield.
Printing the frame number on the windshield is not a patent in China, nor is it in foreign cars. And Europe and the United States have a strong sense of privacy law. If the owner information can be revealed through the frame number, these car companies are estimated to have been sued long ago.
However, it is true that after the frame number is stolen, the brand model, production year, maintenance and danger of the vehicle can be easily found through the mobile phone software, which provides certain convenience for some used car trading platforms and insurance companies.
In addition, the protection of personal privacy information in China is very poor. You can buy the owner's personal information for a little money, so after the frame number is stolen, the owner is likely to receive some harassing calls from time to time.
But you have to say that if someone steals your frame number and copies it, the possibility is very low. First of all, the cost of counterfeiting, unless your car makes criminals feel that it has high counterfeiting value. In addition, no matter how to forge the frame number, the traffic police will know the truth as soon as they check it, and it is easy to be seen through.
In short, if the owner is uneasy about the exposure of the frame number, just find something to cover it, but don't smear it or try to destroy it in some irregular way.
As the subject said, you can really learn a lot about the car from the frame number (VIN code) on the front windshield of the car. For example, take the following picture as an example.
The frame number in the above picture is lfv 3 b 28 r 8 c 30 xxxx, and the information can be obtained:
L stands for China, F is FAW and V is Volkswagen (Audi);
3B28R8 is the vehicle feature code, in which 3 is 2.0T, B is the body structure, 2 is the automatic gasoline gearbox, and 8R is the domestic Q5;
C indicates that the frame was produced on 20 12, 3 is its assembly plant, and 0xxxxx is its serial number.
Then through the frame number, we know that this is a 12 2.0 displacement domestic gasoline FAW Audi Q5.
The Chinese name of VIN is vehicle identification code, which consists of 17 characters, so it is commonly known as 17-bit code. It includes the manufacturer, year, model, body type and code, engine code and assembly position of the vehicle. After arranging and combining the vehicle identification codes, the vehicles of the same model will not be repeated within 30 years, which is unique to vehicles, so it can be called "automobile identification card". In addition to the implied information, you can also find the insurance accident record and maintenance record of the car through the frame number (4S shop only).
Therefore, it is often seen that car owners block or directly scrape off the frame number on their front windshield, which is also out of safety awareness. The subjects asked if the frame number should be covered up, and if they were afraid of revealing their information, they would cover it up. Because it is true that relevant events have been reported before the news, criminals inquire about the owner's relevant information through the frame number and pretend to be an insurance company for fraud. Of course, if you have a high sense of safety, there is nothing wrong with it, and the probability of such an event is very low.
There is no need to shield, and the impact is not great. The specific analysis is as follows:
The frame number under the front windshield is also called VIN code, which is equivalent to the ID number of the vehicle. Some people think that some high-definition cameras can recognize the VIN code, while others are afraid of being written down and brought to the deck. It's not that serious.
At present, some bayonet-only identification capabilities are really strong, which can identify different models and whether the driver is wearing a seat belt, but the VIN code is too small, and I haven't heard of any system to identify it.
The possibility of getting a deck is also very small, because some deck cars are extensive decks, and directly get a fake license plate, even the model is wrong. Some decks are quite real, but the driving licenses of these cars not only have the frame number, but also the engine number. Obviously, they can't see the engine number. If they want to deck you, they can easily get your engine number and frame number, and there is no need to run to the car to peek.
It is even more unreliable to disclose personal information. You can easily find all kinds of information through the license plate. In addition, the license plate is easier to remember than the VIN code. Why use VIN code to check?
After ordinary people get your frame number (VIN code) and license plate, it is easy to get your violation information, but it is useless for ordinary people to check this.
So, you don't have to hide it. If you want to set your card or get your information, just the license plate. The building blocks are also white.
First of all, it is clear that blocking the front frame number does not mean blocking the number plate, and it will not be deducted!
When the traffic police check the car, you have the obligation to open the blocked part for the traffic police to check!
If your license plate can't identify the car because of "a certain situation", the frame number of your car can be obtained through the car photo taken by the high-definition camera.
Frame number is the unique identification code of the vehicle, and this series of codes consists of 17 numbers or letters. You can know from this string of codes. Identification information of this car, such as origin, type, year, assembly information, etc.
Because the frame number is equal to the ID number of the car, this ID number is unique. Theoretically, you can query all kinds of relevant information of the car through the frame number, and theoretically, you can also query the relevant information of the owner through the frame number. Of course, this needs to be realized by relevant departments. Therefore, the publicity of the frame number is equivalent to the owner's personal information, home address, telephone number, ID number and so on. You can often see many people holding mobile phones, patting frames in rows. What do you think his purpose is?
Many riders like to post photos of their cars on the forum. I suggest that you don't forget to block the frame number before shooting. Personally, I think it's better to cover the frame number, but the traffic police can take it away when they check it!
I'm talking about cars. Thank you for reading, sharing your car knowledge and experience. I look forward to your attention!
The frame number (vehicle identification number) is the ID number of the car. From this series of codes, we can learn some information about cars, such as origin, type, year, assembly information and so on.
It consists of three parts: WMI (World Manufacturer Identification Code) conveys the information that the automobile is a producing country; The vehicle description part (VDS) explains the specific model of the car; The vehicle indication component (VIS) can know the manufacturing date and assembly plant of the vehicle.
L stands for China, F is FAW and V is Volkswagen (Audi);
3B28R8 is the vehicle feature code, in which 3 is 2.0T, B is the body structure, 2 is the automatic gearbox, and 8R is the domestic Q5;
C indicates that the frame was produced on 20 12, 3 is its assembly plant, and 0xxxxx is its serial number.
Then through the frame number, we know that this is a 12 2.0 displacement domestic gasoline FAW Audi Q5.
Users are more concerned about the production year of the vehicle. On cars made in China, the 10 bit of VIN code is the number indicating the year of production.
If the tenth place is J, it means it was produced in 20 18.
Do you want to block this vehicle ID card? Actually, it's not necessary Malicious people can know the vehicle information and owner information through the license plate.
What you should say is the vehicle identification number under the car glass. Some people think that this digital code of 17 will reveal a lot of information, fearing that it will be used for other purposes after being seen by some people with ulterior motives. Actually, it doesn't matter even if someone sees it. With this VIN code, you can only find the basic information of your car, such as brand model, factory year, maintenance record, accident record and so on. But it is basically impossible to find the owner's information through this code. You can understand that this is the identity number of the car, which is the number made by the car manufacturer before the car leaves the factory. Now through some paid mobile phone software, you can find some vehicle information through this VIN code. For example, to buy a second-hand car, before you know the condition of the car, you can enter this code with a payment software, and then the brand model, production year, maintenance information and accident information of the car will appear. I can't find anything else, because many questions involve privacy, so I can find them casually, which is very messy. Therefore, the VIN code is the same as the factory nameplate on the inside of the door, only the identity of the vehicle. Nothing can be done with this code alone. Even when applying for insurance every year, the insurance company needs the engine number. Manufacturers have already thought of these drawbacks in advance when designing. If they can really leak information, they have already filed a lawsuit. Moreover, VIN code is a common form of car coding in the world, both domestic and imported cars. If you are really worried and afraid of leaking information, find something to block this code, but don't smear it or try to destroy it in some irregular way. If your code is not clear, it will be embarrassing once you need this code. Moreover, your VIN code is unclear, which may be affected when you sell a car, because generally no one will touch this thing casually. Brother Yan's point of view: As for the VIN coding, I don't think we should be too nervous. Most people don't know what this code is for, and even if they do, they can't find it. Even professionals can only find some information related to vehicles and will not disclose your personal information.
The popularization of science and technology urges people to form the habit of thinking rationally and handling things rationally-Kaiteng gathers wisdom.
The frame number next to the windshield does not need to be blocked.
This number is unique! This number is on the vehicle registration record, sales record, driver's license, maintenance record and insurance policy.
In order to facilitate inspection. When the traffic police check, the number corresponds to the driving license and license plate. You can forge and hit the deck.
Based on this, the upper frame number is designed to be placed next to the windshield for easy inspection.
The license plate is related to the personal information of the owner, and the frame number is also related to the personal information of the owner. Therefore, from the source of information leakage, the license plate is more likely to reveal the personal information of the owner.
So in the ubiquitous information theft chain, the license plate and the frame number are the same.
Of course, the only difference is that the frame code is not easy to forge, and the deck car is relatively easy to see.
Based on the above, there is no need to shield. If you really mind, you'd better buy a car coat. Protect privacy and stimulate consumption!
I thought of shielding more than ten years ago. The question is how to shield it? My car can't insert a card through the glass! Outside the glass, should I paint it?
Unless you want to block the number plate, you must block it, or you will find it when you check it.
