Hello again everyone,

This thread describes how to use iFruit & Charles to mod non-car vehicles like aircraft, the AA trailer, special vehicles, and even the MOC. Very importantly, I also include how to avoid dead spots while doing this. These methods aren't particularly new, and are scattered around in this thread, but we thought it'd be a good idea to put them all in one place. Thanks to WTFox as always for being the OG Charles master.

IMPORTANT: All of these methods require a working "any PV any garage" glitch, so if there is not currently one available, you sadly will have to wait.

-- BACKGROUND INFORMATION --
Unlike most cars, special vehicles do not show up correctly in iFruit because they were never supposed to. Specifically, they'll either "show up" as Franklin's Buffalo or just as the total number of vehicles decreasing. Either way, you then follow the below method to get an iFruit order to come through:
  1. Enable breakpoints on Charles, and clear the history
  2. If the vehicle shows up as a Buffalo, submit a random order for it. If it doesn't, submit a random order on any car. (New elegies work well.)
  3. Right-click to edit the order, and disable breakpoints
  4. Go to this thread, and find the vehicle you are modding. Copy the third number after the vehicle's name, and paste it over the number after "1" in Charles. For example, the AA trailer is listed as "TRAILERSMALL2" and its number is "-1881846085". So in Charles, it should say "1":"-1881846085".
  5. If the vehicle showed up as a Buffalo in Step 2, you are good to make whatever changes you want and submit the order.
  6. If it didn't, change "vehicle" to "0", then submit the order. Increment the numbers after "0" and "vehicle" by +1, submitting the order each time, until it comes through in-game. If you don't see it by the time "vehicle" is at "9", try again starting from "0"
To process an iFruit order on a vehicle, that vehicle needs to meet at least two basic requirements: (1) It must be linked to a garage slot & (2) it cannot be a dirty dupe. So for each special vehicle we basically use a "any PV any garage" glitch to link it to a garage slot in order to mod it. Having a vehicle linked to somewhere it is not supposed to be typically causes dead spots however, so we then use a second glitch to link the modded vehicle back to its original location to prevent this.

-- HOW-TOs FOR THE VEHICLES --
Founder: electricwun ? (Correct me if I'm wrong)
  1. Glitch the trailer into a full garage, swapping a car back into its slot.
  2. Call the car out through the interaction menu, and sell it. BE CAREFUL while doing this to not destroy the car, as you will not be able to call Mors Mutual and it will create a very hard to fix dead spot in the AA trailer's location! If the car is destroyed while you are going to sell it, quit out of the game immediately and clear your cache to keep the progress from saving!
  3. Go to Warstock and try to buy a new AA trailer. It will give you the option of buying it to a normal garage slot. Buy over a car that is currently showing up in iFruit.
  4. When the trailer is delivered, reset GTA. This will send the new trailer back to its original location.
  5. Follow the "Charles Method" steps above to get an order for the trailer to come through. Note that it does show up as a Buffalo.
  6. Call out the MOC, then go in your bunker. Talk to the mechanic to process the order on the trailer.
Note that there is not a consistent way to prevent dead spots caused by deleting the original trailer that is left in your garage. It would require glitching the modded trailer out also, then merging its upgrades onto the original, but glitches that can do this are somewhat uncommon. So just don't delete or overwrite the original trailer and you'll be fine.
Founder: Captain Pocky for this method (electricwun also posted steps that may have been patched)
  1. Find a motorcycle you don't mind losing that is currently showing up in iFruit. Put it into a full garage. (Note: It doesn't have to be a motorcycle, it just gives you more options with calling it out of the hanger and whatnot.)
  2. Fill up your hanger with Pegasus aircraft if it is not already.
  3. Glitch any aircraft (preferably one that you haven't messed with before, like one of the Pegasus aircraft from step 2) into the garage with the motorcycle from Step 1, swapping the motorcycle back into the hanger
  4. Buy the aircraft you want to mod over the motorcycle, or replace over it if the aircraft is a Pegasus vehicle
  5. Follow the "Charles Method" steps above to get an order for the new aircraft to come through. Note that aircraft do not show up as a Buffalo.
  6. Walk into your hanger, get in the plane, and process the order
  7. Glitch the modded plane out of the hanger, swapping the aircraft from Step 3 back into the hanger.
  8. Move the modded plane to either your nightclub or MOC (note that it will be stuck in the MOC if you put it there), and fly it back to the hanger. Overwrite any plane (again preferably one that you haven't messed with before) to make a hanger-linked dupe.
You are now free to delete or keep the modded plane left in your garage -- either way, it won't make a dead spot.

  1. Glitch the FSV into a full garage, swapping a car back into its slot.
  2. Call the car left in its slot out through the mechanic, and sell it
  3. Go to Warstock and try to buy a new FSV. It will give you the option of buying it to a normal facility slot. Buy over a car that is currently showing up in iFruit.
  4. When the new FSV is delivered, reset GTA. This will send it back to its original location.
  5. Follow the "Charles Method" steps above to get an order for the FSV to come through. Note that these do show up as Buffalos.
  6. Get in the FSV and process the order
Note that there is not a consistent way to prevent dead spots caused by deleting the original FSV that is left in your garage. It would require glitching the modded FSV out also, then merging its upgrades onto the original, but glitches that can do this are somewhat uncommon. So just don't delete or overwrite the original FSV and you'll be fine.

  1. If you don't already have a modded AA trailer, follow the steps above to get one.
  2. Set your spawn to the bunker
  3. Go in your bunker and, without exiting the menu, change the primary and secondary paint on the MOC cab & trailer (crew color is said to work best), and the livery on the trailer
  4. Again without completely exiting the menu, also change the livery on the AA trailer (if you want to be extra safe, also change the color to crew color)
  5. Back out to the menu where you can select between the MOC & the trailer, and hover over "Customize the MOC"
  6. If you have a friend online, join their session. If not, go to Online > Crews > Leaderboard > Any crew > View members > Join whoever you can
  7. The AA Trailer's mods (including stuff like green widows) have now merged onto the MOC when you load back in. If not, try again. Note that if you use stock rims, you can then paint the rims once they're on the MOC.

  1. Put a custom plate on the NSV to avoid dirty dupes (thanks kingkiller99991)
  2. Glitch the NSV into a nightclub garage B2-B4.
  3. Move a car that you don't mind losing & is currently showing up in iFruit to a nightclub garage B2-B4.
  4. Sell the car that was left in the NSV's spot.
  5. Drive the car from Step 3 out of the garage. Get in the original NSV that is now in B2-B4, make one change, then select "Exit garage". Return the NSV to storage. The car is now a garage-linked NSV dupe.
  6. (Potentially optional) Repeat step 5, this time driving out the new NSV dupe at the start.
  7. Go back inside and drive the dupe out again.
  8. Follow the "Charles Method" steps above to get an order for the NSV to come through. Note that these do not show up as Buffalos. Codes are: 219613597 for the Speedo, 1945374990 for the Mule, and 1653666139 for the Pounder.
  9. Walk back inside to the original NSV, get in, and process the order. When you load outside, return it to storage once again. The dupe is now modded.
  10. Overwrite the original NSV with an elegy, and sell it. This returns the "NSV slot" back to its original location so we can make a correctly-linked dupe
  11. Make a change to the modded NSV dupe, and select "Exit garage". Return it to storage.
  12. This should make a correctly-linked, modded dupe in the NSV's original location. If it doesn't, please let us know and in the meantime buy a new NSV to the spot (it should go right in), drive it out when it is delivered, and repeat step 11.
You are now free to delete or keep the modded NSV left in your garage -- either way, it won't make a dead spot.

-- USEFUL INFORMATION --
Here are some troubleshooting tips I wrote that have helped people in the past. Note that I use a second iOS device rather than Fiddler & Bluestacks.
  1. Make sure the phone & computer are on the same wifi
  2. Use Charles v3 instead of v4
  3. Install certificates on phone & computer. (Make sure they are activated for iOS devices)
  4. Add your computer's IP and "*rockstar*" to the SSL proxying settings
If orders are coming up as "unknown", that is most likely a security issue. Make sure you did steps 3 & 4 above correctly.

I also recommend only using insured vehicles that are already showing up in iFruit for any step that involves merging or buying over a car.
For most of these vehicles, the main things you can add are window tints ("10":"1" for limo, "140" for green, and "4" for super-clear) and sports rims (see this thread for pictures).

On planes, tire smoke color corresponds to the color of the smoke countermeasure if it is available. (Leave "25" to "0" if the plane doesn't have them.) The exhaust option sometimes changes something such as the propeller on the Ultralight, and xenon lights work for planes with headlights. The custom plate text applies to the plane's hidden plate, which you can see during certain "any PV any garage glitches". Performance upgrades also stick, and but it is hard to tell if they make a difference.

Did you ever test all options on the hydra ?
I saw on pc the rockets are actually classed as „extra 1 and 2“ atleast in menyoo. So they‘re technically mods (even if removed you can shoot)
Would be dope to get a hydra without the rockets on, or even better the rockets just on one wing

Can any one make videos for each part
For each part is completely unnecessary.
If you‘re new to Charles go to this thread: https://www.se7ensins.com/forums/th...s-custom-plates-etc-no-device-needed.1073623/
There’s the basics explained also with videos...pocky made a good job explaining on how to to the other things :‘)
Whenever there’s a put any vehicle anywhere glitch,just watch that video and use the vehicles pocky explained here..and then you can customize all of them the same way foxysnaps explained in his thread how to mod the mariachi tornado :smile:
If any problems come up you can still ask, but there are already videos out there for the basics and you can do the rest the same way !
I‘d make a allround Video about the stuff, but I can’t record my pc desktop sadly

No I haven't really, I wonder what numbers those would be in Charles? That would be very cool lol. I worry that it would be like other things that aren't supposed to be changeable in iFruit like wheel color, but you never know? If anything like that is classed as an "exhaust", you could definitely do it though!

I would, but I modded all of my vehicles a long time ago and would have to buy them again haha. Also I'm not great with videos. But like Zarksch said, the hardest part is usually the "any PV any garage" glitch anyway

I may be able to test it on another account..but sadly I guess it’s an option you can’t change with Charles..but why not try it..:wink:

Did all as explained, but can’t proceed any orders on the AA-Trailer..they just don’t show up when I go into the bunker mod shop

Probably PC players can do this not the console players, but I will investigate about the photo I saw few days ago from PS4
