Sorry, I should have been more clear. The web site only decodes the 3-digit numbers for paint, interior, and special options. To get those from a VIN you need the EPC as Speedy posted above.
The EPC & datacard function is a lifesaver when buying interior parts from salvage yards. I was trying to find Palomino sun visors for my 124 and after getting 2 different shipments of cream (d'oh!), I started asking for VIN's before ordering. Sure enough, the next 5 or 6 "tan" visors turned out to be cream! At least I found out via phone before giving them money. Oh, btw, I now have an extra set of 124/201 Palomino sun visors for sale if anyone wants 'em... plus a few extras for parts!
Regards,
