Default Help Decoding a VIN?

Is there a website anywhere that can decode a VIN to tell what exact equipment is on a car? I've located a car at a dealer out of state, and I'm trying to verify exactly what equipment was on the car from the factory.

Can not be done by VIN, but you can run a GM VIS report and it well tell you all the RPO codes / options it came from the factory with. CF Member GMautotech has helped me a few times.

If it is not GM, I have no help to offer.

There is a GM website, but you have to have access to Global Connect.

Hey, thanks to all of you guys who offered to help! Once I found out that I couldn't get it from a website, and that I needed that VIS report, I posted another thread and Dennis Fichtner was kind enough to help me out. But I do appreciate all the offers to help!
