403 — Leather interior trim: Shale/Cocoa, Mini Perforated. This code identifies the factory upholstery material, color combination, or interior trim specification. Browse RPO codes →
The factory equipment list for my 2023 Buick Encore GX includes 403. My decoder describes it as “Leather interior trim: Shale/Cocoa, Mini Perforated. This code identifies the factory upholstery material, color combination, or interior trim specification” I would appreciate a plain-English explanation and any model-year differences I should know about.

For a retrofit, check the modules, wiring connectors, software configuration, and compatible part numbers first. Installing the visible component alone may not make the feature operational.

I would avoid buying retrofit parts until the connectors and module support are confirmed. Returning electronic or VIN-programmed components can be difficult.

Check the production month as well as the model year. Mid-year changes are one reason two vehicles with the same badge can have different hardware or descriptions.

The wording may be abbreviated because these were originally production codes rather than consumer descriptions. “Leather interior trim: Shale/Cocoa, Mini Perforated. This code identifies the factory upholstery material, color combination, or interior trim specification” is a reasonable plain-English reading, but the exact implementation should be verified for the 2023 model.

Good point about not posting the full VIN. I will compare the part number and connector before deciding on the retrofit.
