# 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.

| Bit Position | Example Content | Meaning                                                                                                                                                                      |

| 4            | 9               | The length of the Vehicle serial number, in Hexadecimal format.                                                                                                              |

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:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.auterion.com/hardware-integration/additional-resources/remote-id/vehicle-serial-number.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
