    That probably would have worked but it required an acount and I wasn't going to give it permissions it requested. So I called Toyota

    Mine is a VZN185L-GKMGKA based on VIN

    VIN's are 17 characters long. What you provided doesn't work.

    That's the model code, not the VIN. I called Toyota and they plugged in my VIN to give me the code I was looking for

    Guessing the parts dept is pressing to ensure the correct item ordered not differentiating by country models.
