Identifying a Vehicle for a Manual or Phantom Calculation

With regards vehicle models there are three possibilities:
- Fully supported by Audatex. This means that a complete range of data is available for the vehicle model. This usually happens when you identify a vehicle using a VIN, KBA, Schwacke Key or manufacturer, model, series.
- Partly supported by Audatex. This means that Audatex is able to supply data from other sources such as Eurotax but means that a phantom or manual calculation must be performed. This involves selecting a vehicle fully supported by Audatex as a substitute.
- Un-supported by Audatex. This means that there is no data available.
- From the Vehicle Types section, de-select the AX only tickbox.
- Select a vehicle type or select All Vehicles to search within all vehicle types.
