Mercedes-Benz Data Card: Decode Your VIN's Factory Options
The data card is the factory record of how your Mercedes was built. Here's how to read it from the VIN.
What is a Mercedes-Benz data card?
The data card (Datenkarte) is Mercedes-Benz's factory record of how a specific car was built. It lists every option as a short code, tied to the car's VIN — the same data the dealer network uses to identify a car's parts and equipment.
What the codes look like
- P44 — AMG Line exterior
- 810 — Burmester surround sound
- U25 — ambient lighting
- P20 — Driving Assistance package
On their own the codes are hard to read — a decoded Mercedes-Benz build sheet turns the data card into a clear equipment list.
