I have the Mcode list from the latest NEATO newsletter, and 377
isn't on it.  101 is "Snow tires, only with bus with M100" (which is "without
VW emblem")  Can you verify if this could be right?  130 is "Type 24
without sunroof and roof windows"  Sounds like a microbus with
deluxe trim--does yours have corner windows?

That makes sense.  My bus is a walkthrough.  I thought it might be
a divider like in a panel van, but your explanation is more likely.

The NEATO list had a lot, but not all.  Anyone know how they
got the ones they did and if there are more?  I'd be willing
to coordinate Mcode listing efforts and put them on a web
page.
