 If a WMI code is not in the list when a consumer enters a VIN number, they will receive an error message stating their vehicle is not supported by the program. It is important for CAMVAP to maintain and update the list and ensure only vehicles recognized by the program are recorded. That also means removing any vehicles that are no longer supported. If a WMI code is not in the list when a consumer enters a VIN number, they will receive an error message stating their vehicle is not supported by the program.

 +===== Using WMI to Control CAMVAP Eligibility=====
 +WMI codes are mapped to Manufacturers in order for a relationship to be established between the vehicle and the Manufacturer. ​ Ex. 2D4 (Dodge) will be mapped to FCA Canada. Should a certain brand not be eligible for the program, ​ for example Volkswagen Group Canada Inc. does not want Lamborghini included, the WMIs for Lamborghini should not be mapped but VW and Audi WMIs should be.  **__It is critical that the list of WMIs be well maintained and current.__** ​ More information on WMIs can be found [[https://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Vehicle_identification_number#​World_manufacturer_identifier|here]].
