Contents: VGCS Group ID, according to TS 23.003 [25]

Coding:

The VGCS Group ID is of a variable length with a maximum length of 8 digits. Each VGCS Group ID is coded on four bytes, with each digit within the code being coded on four bits corresponding to BCD code. If a VGCS Group ID of less than 8 digits is chosen, then the unused nibbles shall be set to ‘F’. VGCS Group ID Digit 1 is the most significant digit of the Group ID.
