Northy, not sure if you care, but from the Booking number and Bill number your VIN is pretty easy to get off the net... I personally don't mind others knowing my VIN, but if you do you should ammend you post. I have XXX'd it out above in case you do the same/

[Northy]

Thankyour Sir

on a side note my dealer is now saying June delivery, so far I have been very impressed with VW, Started off Q3, was then July and now June

[Steve]

Yeah I'm hearing June too... oh yeah!

[Vene]

Guys...need some help with the tracking website. Which option should I use to search with my VIN? I've tried a few but nothing comes up. Dealer's system shows its on the ship tho....any ideas?

[Steve]

From http://www.2wglobal.com/ head to cargo tracking at the bottom right, then Auto Cargo. The cargo ID is your VIN.

[Vene]

Hmm....no good. I'll double check the VIN with my dealer. Are all VW cars shipped through this company?

[Steve]

I don't think so, but there are at least two ships carrying R36's to Australia so maybe there's a third from another company, too... who knows.

I hope it's just a VIN mistake and you're on the earlier-to-arrive and therefore far superior Trinidad

[Vene]

My car is not scheduled to be shipped for another week that's why I can't find it on the system. Looks like a July delivery

On a brighter note, just found out VWA is testing its own version of the Premium Bluetooth module customised for the Aust. market. It can be retro fitted to cars (with RNS510) and could be available mid year.

Seems the EU version does not work with our networks (well 3G or nextG could have issues).

[Steve]

Nuts... that's no good. Mine is currently off the coast of Africa, somewhere in the Mediterranean

Good news re: premium Bluetooth, thanks for that useful bit of information
