Microcat online — parts catalog by VIN
Ford and Lincoln parts by VIN, online. Open Microcat in your browser, enter a VIN and read genuine OEM part numbers and exploded diagrams — no download, instant access.
What is Microcat?
Microcat is Infomedia’s electronic parts catalog platform, used by Ford and Lincoln to publish genuine factory parts data. It decodes a VIN to the exact build and shows the matching OEM numbers and exploded diagrams.
Microcat ties a Ford VIN to the specific market build — engine, transmission and trim differ widely between regions, and Microcat filters the catalog to the right one. That precision is the difference between a first-time fix and a costly return.

Microcat online vs download
Searches for a “Microcat download” usually end in frustration: installed copies are dealer-licensed, need a specific setup, and freeze their data on the install date. Online access removes all of that.
Microcat part numbers & VIN search
Ford uses a recognisable numbering style — for example JX6Z-1125-A (Finis/Ford-style code (e.g. JX6Z-1125-A)). Numbers supersede over time, so always confirm the current one against a live catalog. Enter a VIN and Microcat resolves the exact model, engine, trim and market, then shows only the parts that fit. Not sure of the build? Use the free VIN decoder first.
Access & pricing
One VINsearch subscription opens Microcat and every other catalog — the multi-brand reality of a real workshop, under a single login. Start with a $3 Day Pass, $50 a month, or $500 a year (about $1.37 a day). No per-search fees.
