Is there anywhere I can go to decode the VIN number on my Lexus LX570 JTJHY00W484005509 as below:
Ask for description of 4th to 8th digit JHY00W.
1 J Japan
2 T Lexus
3 J ?
4 H ?
5 Y ?
6 0 ?
7 0 ?
8 W ?
9 4 Check digit
10 8 Model year 2008
11 4 Sequential Number
12 0 Sequential Number
13 0 Sequential Number
14 5 Sequential Number
15 5 Sequential Number
16 0 Sequential Number
17 9 Sequential Number

The dealer should be able to pull that up.

I have not found a website that describes exactly which fragment of data is represented by VIN position 4 - 8 but one of these websites should help:

http://www.dmv.org/vehicle-history-reports.php
http://www.decodethis.com/

The "T" in the second position of the VIN represents the manufacturer instead of the brand. T = Toyota
The third position ("J") apparently represents the Lexus division.

The main thing I remember from working with VINs at the insurance company from which I recently retired is that VINs sometimes do not contain enough information to charge an appropriate (i.e. high enough) rate. The VIN does not describe all the options a vehicle may have.

I suspect that the people who came up with the idea of a 17 position VIN have been kicking themselves ever since for not making it longer to allow the inclusion of more information -- but it is way better than the 10 digit VIN that was in use when I got into the business.

3) Vehicle Type; J = Multipurpose Passenger Vehicle
4) Body Type/Drive Type; H = 4Dr Wagon 4WD, 5Dr Wagon 4WD
5) Engine Family; Y = 3UR-FE
6) Series; 0 = URJ201
7) Restraint System/Grade; 0 = Manual Belts w/ 2 Airbags, Side Airbags, and
Curtain Shield Airbags (Front & Rear Seats)
8) Car Line; W = LX570
