For your rpo codes you might want to look in your glove compartment. I've heard of GM putting the sticker in there on some cars, unless you know for a fact that the previous owner took of the sticker. Or you could give your vin number to a dealership and get all the rpo's from them for your car.

(i know your original questions were already answered, just thought i'd let you know incase there were any other codes that you wondered about in the future.)
