Car arriving Early ? Build Week 45

[p3asa]

Nav Pro is appealing purely for the on-board Storage, being able to store all my songs, the track listings and Album Art. lol

Hard drive will accommodate all your music and will show track listings and Album Art if set up correctly.
I had a 320Gb one in my Golf with no problems and held everything.

How sure are you this will work ?

Looks like VW UK have been right... Woke up to this nice surprise.

Less than 2 weeks and it's gone to a build week already

Mine is showing the exact same now 3/11/13

Is it impossible to get the Spec Changed ?

One of the other guys will be able to confirm this but I think if you make any changes now you will loose your build date. Although I think it can depend on what it is you want to change.

If your still thinking about the Pro Nav you should maybe contact the dealer. If you really want it then it may be worth the extra money.

The dealer has annoyed me slightly, I told them at the point of ordering if the Rear Camera became available at any point before the order was confirmed to just add it and I would pay the cost of the £165 - the discount at the point of collection as there is no point adding that to the finance.

It turns out you could actually order this as of Thursday and my order was not confirmed until Friday so the changes could have been done before the order was confirmed but VW UK said they are unsure why the dealer didnt do it for me before the order was confirmed.

Would be annoyed myself if I had asked to be contacted when the cameras became available. Could be a case that they simply forgot but it's still not excusable really.

I would call the dealer and ask to see if it is possible to get the camera added and if so, how much of a delay could there be.

Its annoying as they had it in writing they could add it as soon as it became available and given the car shouldn't have been built until sometime next year its frustrating that is now available and cant be added. lol

Ive sent emails but no response as of yet

Even if it arrives early Im probably going to wait for the 14 Plate

Any of yous who have just gone to BW confirmed considering doing this if it comes in, say, Jan?

I signed a contract on September 19 2013 and was quoted on that contract "4-5 months delivery", taking it to Jan/Feb 2014 time.

Oddly in Switzerland we have no public online system for tracking VW builds, so I have to ask the dealer, who can see it through his system.

I checked at the beginning of October and was told it could be be November 2013 (this is with rear camera, which was also quoted as a problem here). So looks like the demand is falling of the factory are on overtime...
