VIN Deciphering

JA3AH86F33U106624 - RED Evo with sunroof
JA3AH86F03U099650 - Yellow without sunroof

Would the VIN store whether or not it has a Sunroof?
THe last 6 look like serial #, what is the difference in position 9 3 or 0 ?

F33 vs F03

Any ideas, anyone else got their VIN to throw up to see what changes are what?

there is a way, but I forgot.

it tells of place, what day it was built, fed or cali spec, and few other options.

I don't believe color was one of them.

So far the only difference I have seen besides the serial number is position 9

JA3AH86F03U099650 Yellow
JA3AH86F73U090539
JA3AH86F33U090490 Yellow with sunroof

I am trying to find what position 9 is F33 looks like it is with sunroof. Any one else have one with the 0 or 7 in position 9 and what is on your car?

Thanks. so the check digit will not have any bearing on what options are on the car?
