Option codes identify which options were on the car when it left the factory. Stickers listing the option codes for a particular Porsche can be found under the boot lid and on the inside cover of the warranty manual. Neither sticker shows the actual description of the options, just codes.

- If the stickers are missing, option codes can be obtained from Porsche Cars of North America (PCNA) by requesting a "cardex" for the car. The "cardex" will show you a bunch of information about your car, including the option codes, paint code, etc…
- Porsche has re-used option codes for different models over the years. The database tags codes with the Type, Generation, and Model Year.
- The database had been updated continuously since 1997 (thank you to everyone who has submitted updates and corrections). If the database doesn't know your code, neither do I.
- If you have additions or corrections, use the Contact form to submit them.
- This is NOT a Porsche VIN number decoder. It will not decode VINs.
Feedback
If you have any feedback, please send a message. I’m always looking for ways to improve the decoder.
