23V — Vinyl interior trim: Blue. This code identifies the factory upholstery material, color combination, or interior trim specification. Browse RPO codes →

My 2015 Cadillac CT5 did not appear to leave the factory with the setup identified by 23V: “Vinyl interior trim: Blue. This code identifies the factory upholstery material, color combination, or interior trim specification” I am considering adding it. Does the retrofit normally involve control-module programming, a different harness, or additional hardware?

If you are documenting the vehicle, save both the original wording and the readable explanation. That preserves the factory terminology while making the record understandable later.

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.

The safest interpretation is the one tied to the exact VIN, model year, platform, and market. In general, 23V matches “Vinyl interior trim: Blue. This code identifies the factory upholstery material, color combination, or interior trim specification” but the included hardware can vary between applications.
