any vin decoder that still works?

None of the ones I have used in the past still work, without registration or payment

really? maybe try "bmw vin decoder"? that's what I google when I need it, and the top 3 search results seem to work fine, I've used them periodically this past year a few times.

The "bimmercat" one says "service unavailable" which is common with many of the sites I have used in the past. None of the ones I find in searches seem to work or they want registration or money

Just checked it again. It's working fine for me. Maybe try a different browser.

Works for me.

I'm also having problems with checking a 2021 cars VIN number. Most of these decoders give me either nothing or error and one gives out data about an old e46

Are they not updated with the latest cars? I've tried bimmercat, mdecoder, bimmer.work...
