INPUT VIN: In this mode, you need to input the VIN manually. In general,
vehicle identification numbers are standardized - all contain 17 characters.
VIN characters may be capital letters A through Z and numbers 1 through 0;
however, the letters I, O and Q are never used in order to avoid mistakes of
misreading. No signs or spaces are allowed in the VIN.
The most recognizable location for this number is in the top left corner on the
vehicle's dashboard. Other locations include the driver's door or post, and the
firewall under the hood.
