Ford ETIS is different now, what happened?

[ExPlat]

Ford ETIS used to provide a detailed build sheet of a specific VIN, kind of an easy to read version of the window sticker.
Now it only shows the vehicle model, engine and color, I wonder why it changed?
Anybody know how to bring up the build sheet now?

I believe it changed a couple months ago. Try https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/vindecoder.php?

Thanks Peter! I checked that Ford-trucks decoder and the it's very helpful in describing the general Ford vehicle & model info, their disclaimer even says it may not be specific for individual builds of the the general model.
Well, I'm sorry to see the ETIS info is not available to the general public now and very glad I kept the Monroney sticker for my car.

I looked at that and please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems one must be either an Independent Operator or Ford Dealer and want to spend 50 Euros to register.

Following the registration process and prior to accessing Mechanical Repair, Body & Paint, Wiring Diagrams and IDS licence fee payment, an initial minimum Pre-Payment of 50 Euros is payable to Ford on the Website using a valid credit or debit card.

I've registered as an IO, and unless i've got a bill in the mail, i havnt paid anything
was able to access the vehicle lookup without any issues.

Yep - this seems to be the only way to get the detail now - not sure what this means for the asbuiltexplorer program as it doesn't seem to be able to pull the ETIS files in the correct format...
