To scan a Matrix label you need an imager and many imagers will not scan GM VINs. VINtrack 2D/1D scanners will scan GM VINs as well as many licenses, titles and smog documents as well as the new 2D automotive Matrix labels.

VINtrack 2D/1D USB Scanner (Item #USB2D)
Reads linear (1D VIN), stacked linear, and 2D bar codes. This will scan the 2D codes commonly found on vehicles and used for parts marking, as well as titles, drivers licenses, and registrations. Symbologies include: 1D 39, 128; 2D PDF417, Matrix, Maxicode and many others (We have had good success scanning GM VINs through glass in the right conditions). Featuring a custom sensor that is optimized for bar code scanning with industry-leading performance and reliability.

American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) upgrade software available to scan driver's licenses and titles.

Just plug it in and let Windows Discover it. Your application program does not need to know anything about reading bar codes. You can configure the reader to send certain keystrokes before and after the bar code to move the cursor to the right place. The actual bar code is sent by simulating a human typist.

Two-dimensional bar code symbologies (2D) have been making their way into our industry. Linear bar codes (1D) have served the auto industry well for over 10 years. However, a major drawback to 1D labels is the limitation of the amount of data they hold. Currently we use 1D for the Federal labels, GM PVIN’s, parts labels and secondary numbers.  

Data capacity and space efficiency are two of the major advantages of 2D symbologies. 2D should be looked at as a portable data file. There are also security features that can be used with 2D. You could have a label cut in half and still read all of the data that was on the full label. This will help us when the suspects remove only part of the label. 2D is currently being used in many states for several different applications. Some are being placed on titles and registrations; others are being put on the windshields or doorposts of vehicles for smog programs.

A PDF417 symbol can encode more than a kilobyte of data – up to 100 times the capacity of a linear bar code of similar size, (250 characters per square inch vs. 28 characters).
