162 — Leather interior trim: Shale/Md Dark Cashmere (2) (04). This code identifies the factory upholstery material, color combination, or interior trim specification. Browse RPO codes →
I received a VIN equipment report for a 2020 Chevrolet Camaro, and 162 is listed as “Leather interior trim: Shale/Md Dark Cashmere (2) (04). This code identifies the factory upholstery material, color combination, or interior trim specification” Before I order parts, I want to confirm that the code reliably identifies the original configuration.

The safest interpretation is the one tied to the exact VIN, model year, platform, and market. In general, 162 matches “Leather interior trim: Shale/Md Dark Cashmere (2) (04). This code identifies the factory upholstery material, color combination, or interior trim specification” but the included hardware can vary between applications.

I have seen this on a similar Chevrolet Camaro. The basic description was correct, but one related feature was part of a separate package. I would not assume the code includes every item mentioned in marketing material.

The wording may be abbreviated because these were originally production codes rather than consumer descriptions. “Leather interior trim: Shale/Md Dark Cashmere (2) (04). 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 2020 model.

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 162.

Some codes are reused across several brands, but that does not always mean the parts are identical. Model, trim, drivetrain, and production date can all matter.

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.

My experience has been positive, but the benefit depends on how the vehicle is used. I would treat 162 as confirmation of the configuration, then evaluate whether that equipment matters for your driving.

I would start by checking the original build sheet and then compare the physical equipment on the vehicle. A sales or option code confirms the factory record, but it does not prove that every original component is still installed.

On these vehicles, similar descriptions can use different codes because of supplier changes or package combinations. The code itself is useful, but the VIN-specific parts catalog is better before ordering anything.
