Default Help! with decoding a vin number please

Could someone please help me with decoding a vin number? I am trying to find out if the unit has EPS or not. Is that something you can tell from the vin number? The number is 4XAZX85A49Axxxxxx

Thanks

I don't think I made my question clear enough. I know the XP's can come with EPS, what I want to know if you can tell if they have it or not from the Vin number, which I provided in my first post.

From what I have tried to figure out so far, is I am wondering if the 5th number in the vin, which is an X, means EPS?

Maybe other 09 XP850 owners may know.
