We know how tricky it can be to figure out what options a car left the factory with – especially when it comes to used vehicles.

That’s why we’ve launched a new rego-to-options lookup tool that takes the guesswork out of it.

Built in partnership with S&P Global Mobility and backed by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI), this new service gives you access to official data straight from the car makers themselves.

No more wondering whether a vehicle came with that upgraded safety pack or sport styling – now you can check and be confident.

Why we built this

Factory-fitted options can make a big difference to a car’s value, insurance and finance decisions – but until now, they’ve been hard to confirm, often requiring physical inspection.

With this new tool, you get the additional transparency that previously was only the domain of the OEM or franchised dealers.

“Our goal is to make things clearer and easier for anyone who needs accurate vehicle information,” says Adrian Givoye, General Manager at RedBook Australia.

“With data straight from the source, you can feel more confident in the decisions you’re making.”

Complementing RedBook’s already renowned vehicle dataset and rego to ID services, the inclusion of the Option look up under license can introduce efficient and accurate capabilities into a host of client applications.

What you’ll get

• Factory-fitted options per the brochure when released (where provided by the manufacturer)
• Data that goes back to model year 2010 for most brands
• Official FCAI-backed information
• Easy access via API
• Seamless integration to other advanced RedBook pricing & data solutions.

 How it can help end users

• Dealers to get more transparency to delivery more accurate valuations
• Insurers assess risk and quote more accurately
• Financiers make faster, more informed decisions around LVRs
• Buyers and sellers bring more transparency to the used car market

“This is the first time the industry has come together to deliver an OEM-backed, VIN-specific solution like this,” says Tony Weber, Chief Executive of the FCAI.

“It’s a great step forward for anyone working with vehicles.”
