# Vehicle Serial Number

As of AuterionOS 2.5.5, the vehicle's default serial number in Remote ID uses Auterion's registered manufacturing code, followed by a single character indicating the length of the device serial number, followed by the device serial number itself.

The device serial number corresponds to the **Vehicle serial number** string set in the Auterion Suite:

The **Vehicle serial number** string can be configured by the manufacturer up vehicle's activation.

The resulting vehicle serial number from the example above looks like: `17269123456789`

In AuterionOS 2.7 OEMs are able to override the manufacturer code with a custom value, in addition to configuring an extra custom ID. See the following page for more details:
