Default How to read VIN build date ?

I'm about to get a second set of TPMS sensors and my build date is right around the cutoff for a different part number for the 06 IS. Trying to figure out which part of the VIN is for the Month it was built? I don't know if it was built in May or June of 06.

Thanks in advance

This is easier. Open the driver's side door. Follow pointers in pics.





Build date is MM/YY
