I must be still half asleep because I can't make sense of that.The article says:
Position 1 - Geographic Region:
1-5: North America
6-7: Oceania
8-9: South America
A-H: Africa
J-R: Asia
S-Z: Europe
Position 2 - Country Code: Within North America (1-5):
1,4,5: United States
2: Canada
3: Mexico
How can any VIN then begin with "5Y"? Their dictionary does not assign a value to "Y" in position 2??

Yeah I looked it up on another site and it doesn’t agree with their explanation of how to decode a VIN. Seeing as “Cardog is the AI car companion that makes ownership simple and transparent” I’d be willing to bet that article was written by AI and is just making shit up.

In fact, the wiki is a better read too.
