Extracting Vehicle Identification Number

[robertllouw]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to extract a vehicles identification number (VIN) using the ODB.NET library?

What I have managed to figure out is that it is under mode 9, PID 2. Command 0902.
However not sure how to setup a reference class to extract the VIN details.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi, currently only mode 1 (current data) is implemented.
To request that data you'd need to change the mode in the device (https://github.com/DarthAffe/OBD.NET/blob/master/OBD.NET/OBD.NET.Common/Devices/ELM327.cs#L26) which could be done by inheriting it and setting it in your class or of course by changing it directly .
The processing logic (https://github.com/DarthAffe/OBD.NET/blob/master/OBD.NET/OBD.NET.Common/Devices/ELM327.cs#L164) also had to be changed to be able to parse the results.
