I am comparing configurations and one vehicle includes 47U, described as “Primary exterior color: Dark Blue Metallic. This code identifies the vehicle's factory-applied main exterior paint color” Owners who have it, would you consider it useful and would you look for it again?

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.

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

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.
