The correct way is the instruct the UITextField to receive focus via becomeFirstResponder:

if (buttonIndex == 0) {
    [self.givenVin becomeFirstResponder];
    NSLog(@"edit ");
} else if (buttonIndex == 1) {
    [self.givenVout becomeFirstResponder];
}

If you have named a UITextField givenVin, then you could try with: 

[self.givenVin becomeFirstResponder];
