Hi, does anyone know a webpage, which allows to check upon the equipment of specific car, based on the VIN number? There are a lot of pages, but can't find a free one.

The vin doesn’t encode anything other than the basic make/model info, possibly including engine size

But the VIN is a glorified serial number. You can decode the year of production and the manufacturer but for specific equipment check you would need access to the servers of that specific Car brand, that would be restricted to few people in official dealers

Carinfo.kiev.ua has been good for me for some marques, but it's not like I've tried a lot of them. They're manufacturer specific.

OEM equipment is specific to each manufacturer. You are not likely going to find a single decoder that works for every vehicle. Look for one specific to your vehicle's manufacturer, try multiple ones until you find the information you seek.

A quick "Ford vin decoder" OEM options or similar does it for me
