Just ordered R-Line, white with black wheels $56k drive away.
Chullora nsw. Not sure how much is truth, but the salesman mentioned that most dealerships get 3 regular and 3 sunroof wolfie. But that seems quite low considering the amount of dealerships there are in oz.
Seems like a few people on the forum have just called up dealerships and negotiating over the phone, try that?
It's quite likely that VW will have allocated all the stock of these limited edition vehicles to dealerships and not kept any in VW "general" stock. You'll have to either find a dealer with the colour combination you're after or find one that is able to swap it into their stock. If one dealer is chasing one colour and another dealer another and means both of them get the sale it makes things relatively easy.
Often dealers won't give up the stock if they think they've got a potential sale on a car (active leads) so if you're really after a particular colour/option then you're best off finding where the car(s) with that colour /option are located and dealing direct with the dealer with stock. Obviously if they find out you're desperate for the car they've got it plays more into their favour and you may not be able to negotiate the "best" price - unless there's a few of them around and you can play off a couple of dealers against each other.
Some of the dealers will list their stock on the VW (dealer) website. That way you can go onto the site and search for what model/option/colours they are showing. Obviously that relies on someone updating the stock and you'll always have to ring the dealer to confirm availability.
Step 1: Go to VW find a dealer: Find a Dealer | Volkswagen Australia
Step 2: Once you have located the dealer you're interested in, click on the website link for the dealer:
Step 3: Now you can search the dealer stock for new/demo/used cars. Some dealers don't list everything and the info is only as up to date as the dealer keep it but if you're hunting for a colour/option this may be a reasonable place to start (other than ringing around and asking to talk to the stock controller): North Shore Volkswagen - Our Stock

On the factory tow bar, the reverse sensors are deactivated when you plug in the tow plug, but also disables side assist.
If you leave it unplugged, side assist and reverse sensors work but rear traffic assist will slam the brakes on when reversing.
you can disable this along with the audible warnings from the rear sensors on the touchscreen when you select reverse gear
