Enhancements

Our VINMobile VIN decoding app has been re-released!

We have re-vamped the old autoecat VINMobile application and it is now available for download on the Google Play Store!

Download it here!

The app allows your customers to use their mobile device to scan a vehicle's VIN barcode and load the scanned vehicle information directly into their Scanned Vehicles list, available under the 'Last Vehicles' section of autoecat. In this latest version, we have made a few enhancements:

  • Streamlined user account registration - Just open the new VINMobile QR code from the 'Last Vehicles' section and scan it with the app.
  • Enhanced VIN Scanning Software - A specialized VIN Basrcode scanner has been embedded into the app to provide quicker and more precise scanning.
  • Built From the Ground Up - This new app has been completely rebuilt, allowing a tighter integration with autoecat and more control moving forward

Simply download the app from the google play store and you can get started right away!
