Hi all, I just decided all of my RPO codes for my 2013 LS hatch, which I found in the spare tire compartment on a sticker. The majority of them are pretty clear and easy to understand, but some are a bit more vague and clearly hold a different meaning per car that the code appears on. The mystery codes in question are: • ABX - Interior Trim Config #19 • BAG - Export Parts Package • R9N - Control Sales Item #89 • VRG - Value Added ASM Cockpit • VRH - Value Added ASM Steering Column • VRK - Value Added ASM Roof Trim • 1SB - Package Option #2. Does anybody here know what these codes might mean for our cars, or at least for those who have this code like me?
Control sales 89 just means retail. ASM I think is a sport appearance package so all of those RPO codes are just related to the options included in that package. The export parts package just means that the car could be sold in Canada as well. Honestly those aren’t particularly interesting RPOs - the bulk of them just described whatever your interior looks like.
Thanks for breaking that down. I was really confused about some of those codes. So, basically, they’re not anything super special?

Yeah, pretty much. Just standard options and configurations for your vehicle. Nothing that would majorly affect performance or anything.
I have the same codes on my hatch. The ABX one is definitely about the interior trim. It seems like it varies by model though.

That makes sense. I guess they just use the same codes across different models.
Is there a website or something where I can look up these RPO codes? Just curious if there’s more info out there.

You can try the GM website or even some car forums. They usually have pretty detailed info on codes.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. I’m always looking to learn more about my car.
If you really want to dive deeper, you can sometimes find service manuals that detail RPO codes too. They can be a bit hard to find, but worth it.

I’ll keep that in mind. It’d be nice to have all that info at my fingertips.
I think the VRH and VRK codes are definitely about the added features in the interior. They seem to enhance the overall look.
