Where is the QR code for the vehicle equipment number?
2 Answers
Generally, the QR code for the vehicle equipment number is located at the lower left corner of the front windshield. Currently, the QR code on the vehicle license plate is only implemented on new plates in a few cities. The vehicle QR code contains license identification information such as the issuing authority, unique serial number, license plate number, as well as the vehicle's technical parameters and owner information. Only internal police equipment can scan this code. Below is the information that can be queried using the vehicle identification number: 1. Manufacturer information: It can reveal the manufacturer, brand, and type, as well as vehicle characteristics. 2. Body type information: It can show the vehicle category, series, body type, engine type, and restraint system type. 3. Model year information: It can display the vehicle's gross weight rating, braking system, check digit, model year, assembly plant, and sequence number.
As a car enthusiast, I'd like to share that this thing is usually located in the upper area of the dashboard at the lower left corner of the windshield—just look down and you'll spot the QR code sticker. Some models hide it on the sidewall of the engine compartment or the B-pillar label, which is quite user-friendly. If you can't find it, don't worry—the owner's manual or vehicle registration documents often contain a copy. Scanning it saves you the hassle of entering long codes and can pull up detailed vehicle history like maintenance records. Modern new cars might integrate it into the infotainment system's app, allowing you to scan with your phone to schedule services, but be mindful of information security—avoid using third-party tools recklessly. I recommend taking regular photos to back it up in case of wear and tear, as this seemingly insignificant detail can be a lifesaver during critical moments like insurance claims.
