VIN numbers can contain information on options etc. Does Hyundai do this and how do I read the VIN for coded info.
From other posts I gather my 2004 is an XD2 and that has nothing to do with the designations GL, GLS, etc. Is that right?

Thanks. I also found one at: http://tinyurl.com/3gwv43o

You can't link to there since you have to log in. However, was it a big diagram that lays it out better than the text I posted? That's what I was looking for. Can you save the picture then post it? Or tell me how you found it?

 

[Danr]

I found it at the Official Hyundai site as a TSB.
See if this pic comes through.
2004 MY VIN DECODER

Well that didn't work. :-(
Don't know why it won't let me copy direct but it won't.
I've got it saved in my computer but can't get the image transfered into this forum.
Any ideas?
Otherwise it can be found by registering in at Hyundai and look under Elantra XD "General Info/TSBs".

Ah yeah, that doesn't load in Safari (or Chrome). I see it now in Firefox, and yeah, that's what I was talking about.

For future reference, you'll need to upload the image to the internet somewhere and then use the
