Hi, your best off buying the red-collor official VW MDI cable... this is the cable which allows Album Art & iTunes Movie playback.

What stage are you guys' BW47 cars at now?

My tracker is still saying "in transit", with 3 weeks to go, so it's most likely sitting at Emden port awaiting a boat, but has been there nearly 2 weeks now

Been looking on MarineTraffic.com and both the Weser Highway and Schelde Highway carriers have just arrived at Emden late Saturday night, so I'm hoping it gets onto one of those tomorrow and I should see the tracker change to "10 days".

I'm going away to Ireland for Christmas/new year on sat 21st and I was intending to take the new car, what do you guys reckon my chances of getting it before then are? 

Am going to give customer services a bell tomorrow and enquire/have a whinge. I've read a few cases where the tracker hasn't updated, and gives the impression it's still in Germany when in fact it has arrived in the UK, so will see what VW say tomorrow.

Cheers,

Gareth

I can see the grand legacy is also heading for Emden at the moment. Schelde highway is heading for Grimsby now. Any idea which ship goes to sheerness?

The Grand Legacy hasn't been to the UK for ages though:

Good news on the Schelde Highway, although my tracker hasn't changed to "10 days", which (if it's accurate) would indicate it's not on that boat :(

What are the "BW47 Changes" that I see being talked about on the forums?  What changed?
