GTA Online: Change license plate – Here’s how you can customize it

par

Want to drive with your own license plates in GTA Online? We’ll show you how to design them and then equip them on your cars and vehicles.

What is it about? Cars in GTA Online usually have license plates with numbers and letters generated by the game. In addition, the number plates are kept in different colors. If you don’t feel like random numbers and letters, you can personalize your number plates and use them on different vehicles.

Here we show you how to change your license plates in GTA Online and design your own.

Change license plate with iFruit app

Thats how it works: To change the license plate in GTA 5 / Online, you have to load an app onto your smartphone. This does not mean the smartphone in the game, but your own mobile device (tablet also works). The iFruit app is available for Android and iOS.

After downloading and installing, you need to connect the app to your Social Club account. This tells the app which account the number plates should be adjusted for. So use the data you use to log in to GTA Online.

  • Now select « Los Santos Customs » from the main menu
  • Click on the license plate in the top right
  • Now enter the numbers and letters that should be on your license plate
    • These can be abbreviations for your name, numbers or combinations of numbers and letters
    • The whole thing is limited to 8 letters/characters
    • You can now also customize the background and the colors
  • Now confirm which character you want to use the license plate with
  • Tap on « Order »
  • In the game you will then receive the confirmation as an SMS on the in-game mobile phone

Equip your own license plate: If you want to use the new license plate, you drive to an LS Customs shop of your choice. From there, select the option to modify your vehicle.

The License Plate option allows you to customize the colors of the current license plate or choose your own. In our example, this is « 17 ».

iFruit app doesn’t work and crashes? This solution helps

That’s the problem: The ratings of the iFruit app are currently 1.6 out of 5 stars with over 400,000 ratings in the Google Play Store (as of November 30, 2021). The reason for the bad ratings is the performance of the app. With newer operating systems, the iFruit app crashes directly when loading. Other, older devices can start the app, but then cannot load the LS Customs menu – a crash then follows as well.

We have tried this and can confirm the problems. The app was last updated on November 29, 2019.

What is the solution? If you want to change your license plate in GTA Online, you have several options:

  • Try older smartphones with older operating systems, the iFruit app might work here
  • Users on reddit recommend downloading an emulator (via reddit.com)
    • With an emulator you can start the Android operating system on the PC and install and use apps there
    • According to some players, the iFruit app works with select emulators, allowing you to create a license plate yourself
  • Another solution, if the app launches for you but crashes after selecting LS Customs, is to deselect the PC platform in Settings and instead select an Xbox or PlayStation account linked to the same Social Club account – In our test, this worked as a solution
