An "X" in the middle of my VIN

Hi Guys,

First off, I tried to do a forum search of the post that was up a while back that went into detail on how to decipher your VIN but came up short . My question to you guys is...what does the "X" in the middle of my VIN indicate? I went to serveral dealers websites and noticed that about 10-25% of the VINs had the letter. It's in the 9th position from the left. I know it's has nothing to do with navi, transmission, or summer tire options. I would appreciate any info you folks may have. Thanks.

Here is a thread:

Position 9 is just a check digit, it has nothing to do with how the car is equipped...

I'm thinking about making a PHP script that lets you input your VIN and it will tell you all the info you need to know. Should be pretty easy.

Gale - There's already a million websites that do it.

Here's one: http://www.analogx.com/contents/vinview.htm

Put the phrase "VIN Decoder" into Google and you'll see what I mean.

Too bad, would have been fun to make. Plus, this one doesn't tell you the transmission and stuff.

Thanks so much guys :toothless . It turned out to be the check digit to make sure that the VIN was valid. For a second, I thought it's Acura secretly installing the much anticipated SH-AWD "x" option into my TL :devil: :devil: ! Only 10 more days till I take delivery :toothless :toothless .
