Škoda Build Sheet by VIN: Decode Your Škoda's PR Codes
Every Škoda is built to a list of PR codes tied to its VIN. Here's how to read them, the codes you'll see most, and how to get the full list for your Škoda.
- PR codes are Škoda's factory codes for a car's equipment, three characters each:
8T8is adaptive cruise control,KA2the rear view camera. - They come in families, so they also show what a car was built without:
KS0means no head-up display. - On an Enyaq the codes show the battery and the heat pump:
J9Dis the 82 kWh (gross) battery. - Your BuildVIN report lists every PR code of your Škoda with Škoda's own description, in minutes.
What are Škoda PR codes?
Škoda records the equipment of every car as a list of PR codes, the same system Volkswagen, Audi and SEAT use. Each code is three characters, letters and digits, and stands for one item: an assistance system, the seats, the lights, the infotainment, the tow bar. Together they describe exactly how that car was built.
Because the list belongs to one VIN, it describes your car, not the model in general. It is the most reliable way to check what a Škoda really has, whatever the badges or the advert say.
How to read Škoda PR codes
- One code, one item:
KA2is the rear view camera,QR9traffic sign recognition. - Codes come in families, one code per family. That is why the list also shows what is missing:
4A3is individually controlled front seat heating,4A0no seat heating;1M6is an electrically released swivelling tow bar,1D0no tow bar. - The same feature can have several codes for different versions: Matrix LED headlights appear as
8G4or8G5. - Some equipment has more than one code: on an Enyaq the heat pump shows as
9M3orPHC, and many cars carry both.

Where to find the PR codes on your Škoda
The PR codes are printed on the vehicle data sticker, usually in the boot near the spare wheel well and in the service booklet. They are printed as bare codes without descriptions, and stickers fade, peel or go missing. The VIN is all you need: your report lists every code in plain words.
Enyaq: battery size and heat pump by code
On an electric Škoda the codes answer the two questions that matter most for range and winter driving:
J9Dhigh-voltage battery, 82 kWh (gross).J9Chigh-voltage battery, 62 kWh (gross).9M3orPHCheat pump.
Battery size is easy to mix up in an advert. The codes show what the car was built with, and our guide to the Škoda Enyaq by VIN goes deeper.
What to check on a used Škoda before you buy
Sellers often list equipment from memory, and some options are expensive to add later. These are worth confirming in the PR codes. The share shows how many of the Škodas in our reports have them.
| Equipment | Code | Cars with it |
|---|---|---|
| Adaptive cruise control (follow-to-stop) | 8T8 | 42% |
| Matrix LED headlights | 8G4 | 25% |
| Rear view camera | KA2 | 55% |
| Parking sensors front and rear | 7X2 | 64% |
| Heated front seats | 4A3 | 55% |
| Wireless phone charging | 9IJ | 25% |
| Traffic sign recognition | QR9 | 58% |
| Branded sound system | 9VS | 18% |
| Electrically released swivelling tow bar | 1M6 | 28% |
| Head-up display | KS3 | 6% |
| Adaptive dampers with driving profile selection | 2H4 | 8% |
| Heat pump | 9M3 | 14% |
If a feature in the advert has no matching code, ask the seller about it before you pay.

Frequently asked questions
What are Škoda PR codes?
They are the factory codes Škoda uses for a car's equipment, three characters each, for example 8T8 (adaptive cruise control with follow-to-stop) or KA2 (rear view camera). Your report lists every PR code of your Škoda with Škoda's own description.
Where can I find the PR codes on my Škoda?
On the vehicle data sticker, usually in the boot near the spare wheel well and in the service booklet, as bare codes without descriptions. If the sticker is missing or unreadable, the VIN is all you need: your report lists every code in plain words.
Can I get my Škoda's PR codes from the VIN?
Yes. Enter the VIN in the form at the top of this page. Your report lists every PR code of your Škoda with Škoda's own description, all OEM data straight from the source, as two PDFs by email in minutes.
Can I see an Enyaq's battery size from the VIN?
Yes. The battery has its own code: J9D is the 82 kWh (gross) battery and J9C the 62 kWh (gross) battery. A heat pump shows as 9M3 or PHC.
Why does the list include equipment my car does not have?
PR codes come in families, one code per family, so some codes record what was not fitted, such as KS0 (no head-up display) or 1D0 (no tow bar). That helps when you buy: it shows clearly what a car lacks.
What if my car can't be found?
Then you get your money back. If we can't find your car's factory data, we refund the whole payment.
