I know this has been covered many many times… especially most recently in this thread: [http://nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48782&highlight=inspection+sticker](http://nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48782&highlight=inspection+sticker)… but I dont know what to take for true or false out of this? So what im asking is for people to post only if they are certian of the truth regarding the law. Can cops pull my inspection information from running plates? Do they pull the vin from your ecu? I have an obd2 Car with a stand alone and I dont wanna switch back ECUs. Im sure I can find similar makes and models of my car, just not the same year. I want the “most authentic” inspection sticker I can get. (meaning when a cop scans mine I want it to show my car)\ Then after all that, if anyone has a hookup, please feel free to pm me:snky: Someone School me??? ---

what it is is that the inpspection sticker has a a scanable bar code that is linked to whatever car was used to inspect in…VIN , Reg, plates…by scanning the barcode on the insp. sticker they would get all that info to see if it matches. So far I dont know if any of local police agencies have this scanner but they can also put the number in their carputer and run it that way. Also in the works at teh DMV is that when u get ur car inspected all the numbers and info are noted and the DMV will send u notices of when ur inspection is due and if u dont get it reinspected within a time frame ur reg will be suspended. Chances are if your car doesnt look like a turd a cop wont run the insp # ---

Ok… I knew all that much. Im asking for the specific inspection process. How can I get the sticker to be “my own” knowing that the car will never actually pass? ---

If it’s such a big concern for you, buy another car that’s pre-OBDII, swap VIN plates and register and insure that car. I’m not saying I’ve done this before but it works. _edit_ and make the car you bought dissappear. ---

Here’s the thing. If you just buy a sticker from someone, or acquire one somehow, then the record will come up as the car not being inspected. Then if you go so many years in a row they won’t let you renew your registration. Happened to my buddies piece of shit blazer, they wouldn’t give him tags unless he inspected it. ---

You guys want answers for doing something illegal and when the only answers are to do something else illegal you bitch. How about you just do what the state requires in the event that your car won’t pass inspection: > [@NYS DMV"](#): > > Inspection Waiver. A vehicle that is required to have the OBDII inspection can qualify for a waiver if: > > ``` > * The vehicle fails the OBDII inspection, but passes the safety inspection, the gas cap check, and the visual inspection of the emission control devices, and > * The vehicle receives repairs that are related to the failure of the OBDII inspection and the cost of the repairs is at least $450, and > * The vehicle does not pass the OBDII inspection during a reinspection. > > ``` > > The waiver is valid for one year. > > After the reinspection, the inspector enters the repair information that you provide into the NYVIP equipment. The NYVIP equipment then notifies the inspector if the vehicle qualifies for a waiver. If the vehicle qualifies, the inspector can use the NYVIP equipment to print a waiver form. You must sign the waiver form, and the inspector must sign the waiver form. The inspection station keeps the waiver form and other documents related to the waiver. The inspector then issues your inspection sticker, and the sticker is valid for one year. > > To qualify for a waiver: > > ``` > * You must have the inspection report from the original NYVIP inspection station. > * The inspection report must show that your vehicle failed the original OBDII test, but that your vehicle passed the safety inspection, the gas cap check, and the visual inspection of the emission control devices. > * The emissions control system of your vehicle must be intact. The system must not show any evidence of tampering. > * You must have work orders and receipts that prove that repairs related to the vehicle emissions system were completed at a NYS-licensed repair shop. The work orders and the receipts must prove that the cost of the repairs, parts and labor, was at least $450. If you complete the repairs yourself, the calculation of the cost of the repairs includes only the cost of the parts that were used and does not include any amount for your labor. > > ``` [http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/vehsafe.htm](http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/vehsafe.htm) There’s your sticker. Quit bitching or buy a fuckin pre-OBDII car. ---

I just don’t see what the big deal is. If he wants a real inspection sticker, one that prints out his car when scanned and one that’s actually activated, he’s gonna have to do a little bit of work. If he doesn’t want to do any work, well, better start making friends in Albany. ---
