Preliminary information

Before going into the details of the procedure on how to change license plates on GTA Online , I think it may interest you to know more about this possibility.

Well, you must know that there are two methods to change the license plate on your vehicle in GTA Online. The first, which is the simplest to implement, only allows you to change the color of the background of the plate, without however having the possibility to customize it further.

Then there is another, more hidden, which allows you to customize the plate more thoroughly. Don’t worry – you don’t have to go through any mods, RP servers, or whatever unofficial content. The ability to customize your vehicle’s license plate on GTA Online has been made available directly by the game’s developers and is one of the “older” features among other things.

In fact, perhaps you have never noticed it, but you have seen that one of the girls who often appears on the game loading screen is holding a smartphone that has an icon on the back that in some ways resembles the logo of a well-known tech company ? Well, the application linked to the phantom company mentioned by the game really exists.

In fact, Rockstar Games has been launching, for some time now, the official Grand Theft Auto application: iFruit for Android (also available on alternative stores for devices without Google services) and iPhone / iPad which is designed precisely to allow you to perform operations that it is not possible to play directly in the game.

To download the app , simply open the digital store of your mobile device, search for “ifruit” , press the fruit icon and tap the Install / Get button . In the case of iPhones and iPads, you may also be prompted to verify your identity with Face ID, Touch ID, or Apple ID password.

Once you have opened the iFruit application and given the right permissions , just log in with your Social Club account (you can create a new one , if you don’t already have it).

In case you are playing on console , you will also need to link your PSN or Xbox Live profile . Carrying out this operation is not complex, and you can also do everything directly from your mobile device: just connect to the official website of the Social Club , log in , press the profile icon at the top right, select the SETTINGS item from the menu that opens, expand the PROFILE option and tap on the Linked Accounts box .

Then, you will access the page where there are all the profiles of the platforms that you have connected to your Social Club account. All you have to do is click on the Connect account button , present under the indication relating to the profile of the platform you want to use, then executing the ‘ access and pressing the button Yes to allow that to happen the connection account.

You may also be prompted to configure the visibility of your account information by pressing the Continue button . In any case, once this is done, you will have successfully connected and can proceed. In short, the procedure is not difficult, but if in doubt, you can refer to my guide on how to access the GTA Social Club .

Once everything is settled, open the iFruit application and you will be prompted to read the privacy policy and terms of service . Then press the ACCEPT button to continue. You will then be asked which platform you intend to use the app for. Make your choice (for example Xbox One ) and the resources necessary to manage everything will be downloaded .

Once the download is complete, you will be inside the official Grand Theft Auto application: iFruit. Perfect, now you have everything ready to actually change the license plate, at least as far as the app is concerned.

Now that you have the iFruit application configured correctly and the right connections between the various accounts, I would say that it is time to actually explain to you how to customize the license plate in GTA 5 Online .

First of all, you need to know that in order for the option to change license plates to appear on the iFruit app, you must have a garage and a personal vehicle in GTA Online. I know: it may seem almost obvious, but in reality it is not, as there are not a few who have just finished the tutorial and therefore do not know how to proceed.

Also, I remind you that unfortunately the progress of GTA Online is not shared between the various platforms , so someone found themselves having to start everything from scratch after downloading the game on another console or on PC, perhaps thanks to some free initiative. .

In short, it is good to start from the basics. To buy a garage in GTA Online , simply open the character’s smartphone (by pressing, for example, the up arrow on the console), press the Internet icon , navigate to the FINANCES AND SERVICES tab and access the Dynasty8realestate.com website .

Then, click on the View property list button and choose the one that suits you best. If you are just starting out and are without money, I recommend that you press on the CHEAP tab and select the Lowest From filter . You can typically find a property that costs close to $ 25,000 .

This is a figure that even a novice player can collect in relatively few hours, perhaps by running several races or by following the instructions I have provided in my guide on how to earn money on GTA Online . In any case, if you have any doubts about the procedure for obtaining the desired structure, I recommend that you consult my tutorial on how to buy a garage on GTA .

For the rest, you will of course also have to buy a personal vehicle . In this case, you can open your character’s phone , select the Internet item , go to the TRAVEL AND TRANSPORT section and select a dealer . If you are short of money, you can think of turning to Southern SA Super Autos , since the latter also has very economical solutions. To be clear, the Karin Rebel model costs just $ 3,000 and can be customized.

Once you have purchased your personal vehicle, it will be delivered to you in the garage you purchased earlier. Then open the map , go to the place, enter the building , get on the vehicle and take it out.

Perfect: now it’s time to “get your hands” on the iFruit application . Then open the latter and press the first icon at the top left, that is LS Customs . You will be welcomed into the Los Santos Customs app , which allows you to customize your vehicles. You will notice the presence of various slots: it is possible to modify both the vehicles of the characters of the GTA 5 Story mode and those of your own character from GTA Online .

Press, therefore, on the Garage button at the bottom left and select the box linked to your online character (where you see a diagram relating to your personal vehicle). At this point, press on the entry Plates at the bottom, type the contents of the plate in the space provided at the top and select the background (you will be shown how many dollars you will have to pay, but generally they are not many).

Great, now your plate is ready: you just have to press the Customize button at the bottom left, then the ORDER button just below your vehicle and tap on the OK option , in order to accept the “quote” . If everything has been done correctly, the message Order sent will appear on the screen .

Alternatively, I recommend that you try again to configure the license plate and place the order or try to set a license plate for one of the characters in the story first . For the rest, if you have problems with the iFruit app , I recommend that you consult the official Rockstar guidelines .

Once the order has been placed, a message will appear on the screen in GTA Online , inviting you to drive your personal vehicle into a Los Santos Customs garage to fit the ordered modifications (i.e. the license plate).

So take your “trusted” vehicle and go to a Los Santos Customs (you can find it, for example, in the lower left corner of the map). Enter the garage with the vehicle and you will be able to access the modification.

You may be required to spend a few dollars to repair the vehicle before you can modify it, but then you just need to press the Process order , paying what is due option , to get your license plate . Once your vehicle is out of Los Santos Customs, you will be able to show off the modification properly.

Great, now you know pretty much everything about the GTA Online license plate system. Just a clarification: do you remember the first method mentioned in the preliminary chapter ? Well, in that case, if in the future you simply want to change the background of the license plates of the vehicles you find around, just go to a Los Santos Customs , select the License plates option , choose the background and pay the dues.

In short, changing license plates on GTA Online is not that difficult. For the rest, since you are a fan of the Rockstar Games title, I would recommend that you take a look at the page on my site dedicated to GTA . In fact, in the latter you can find many other tutorials, which could potentially provide you with interesting ideas for your gaming sessions.
