Where to Find the Vehicle QR Code?
2 Answers
Vehicle QR codes are generally located at the lower left corner of the front windshield. Currently, QR codes on vehicle license plates are 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, and license plate number, as well as the vehicle's technical parameters and owner information. Only internal police equipment can scan these QR codes; regular smartphones cannot recognize the QR codes on license plates, so there is no need to worry about personal information leakage. Scanning this QR code with professional equipment allows access to the vehicle's records, ensuring the uniqueness of the license plate while also enhancing efforts to combat counterfeit plates.
Last time I spent quite a while helping a friend locate the infotainment QR code, which turned out to be in the account management section under vehicle settings. The location varies by brand - for Volkswagen group vehicles, you typically press the 'Vehicle' icon in the main menu to enter settings, then scroll down to 'User Management' to find the QR code label. If you're not logged into an account, it might not display, so registration/login is required first. For BMW, it's more straightforward - just look for the 'My Vehicle' option in the onboard APP. Remember to maintain stable infotainment network connection during scanning, as successful binding enables remote AC control and location tracking. When having trouble finding it, checking the owner's manual is much faster than random tapping, especially since touchscreen operations can sometimes be unresponsive.
