Implementation procedure

VinPOWER Squished VIN Data can be utilized in variety of ways. The nature of an open text file allows developers and users to see the data without any restrictions.

VinPOWER Squish VIN Data contains selected fields of decoded information for a specific SQUISHED VIN (VIN PREFIX) in a TAB delimited text file. The VinPOWER Squished VIN Data Text file can be easily imported to any database.

The VIN look-up can be utilized by simply searching the data for matching Squished VIN (VIN Prefix) as shown below.

Squished VIN (VIN Prefix) is a substring generated from a standard 17 characters Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
VIN Prefix contain minimum of 10 or 11 (or in some rare cases even 14 characters for VINs with 3rd character “9”).

VinPOWER Database is continuously being updated. Weekly updates are available and can be downloaded from the VinPOWER.com web site or a secure ftp connection. Because the database size is so small we do not issue incremental updates but rather release the entire database file(s).
