193 — Leather interior trim: Black (3) (96). This code identifies the factory upholstery material, color combination, or interior trim specification. Browse RPO codes →
The VIN report includes 193, described as “Leather interior trim: Black (3) (96). This code identifies the factory upholstery material, color combination, or interior trim specification” I would like to archive the correct information with the vehicle. Is there another factory document that normally confirms this code?

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.

A clear photo of the build label, VIN report, and the relevant component would help. Do not post the full VIN publicly; the last eight characters are normally enough for a parts-counter discussion.

The dealer should be able to pull a VIN-specific equipment or parts record. Ask them to search by VIN rather than entering only the three-character code.

Before buying, I would inspect the relevant component and take a photo of its label or part number. That often resolves whether the vehicle still has the factory configuration associated with 193.

If the feature is listed but not working, scan all related modules before assuming it was removed. A stored fault, replacement module, or configuration mismatch can make original equipment appear absent.
