    The VIN doesn't matter... FlashScan licenses to the PCM serial number.

    You would do these steps:
    1. full flash the PCM with the right OS,
    2. edit the VIN using the scantool,
    3. do VATS relink if equiped with VATS.
    4. do CASE relearn.

    I suppose the order of steps 1. and 2. may be swapped.

    You use the VIN that matches with the rest of your components.
