Tracking JETTA

[phantomcamel]

From what I know, the VW's from germany are sent on a different company and I think you can track the car with the VIN. .

Most cars are handled by "Wallenius Wilhelmsen" - they have a "Track & Trace" facility which is available to the public here Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics - worldwide ocean transport, inland services, supply chain solutions, terminal services

Keyless entry!

Why the surprise? Sarcasm?

Oh no no.. I love to have it. There's no such option in the Jetta here in Australia.

Not even on the top of the line 147 tsi JETTA?

This is the first car I've purchased so the first time dealing with the dealer was strange to me as the dealer would say that I couldn't get this or that with the car. I initially thought the dealer was simply being inflexible. Little did I realize at the time that VW decides what options are available for each country.

I wonder how VW decides to only send 17 inch Queensland wheels and 16 inch Navarra wheels to Trinidad. I would have liked the option for Denvers, Minneapolis or Portos!

I guess it is because of our small population here in Australia & the distance to the manufracturing location (not that Trinidad is any bigger...). Not everyone is prepared to wait for a factory order and it wouldn't make sense to stock every option as we would end up with too much stock sitting around. Given that dealerships finance the cars, you have a huge investment sitting around if you are one of the bigger metropolitan dealer.
One thing I never understood, why can you get an "Off-Road" version of the Tiguan in England, but not in OZ

Park assist? I was informed park assist was not an available option therefore did not add this to my order.

^^^^^ I'm from Trinidad by the way so the quote doesn't represent all the options that available in Australia...

Looking at the quote again we also don't get park assist but simply get sensors which display an outline of the car and show how close an object is to it.

At no point does the car drive itself into a park.

Yeah, that's the OPS - Optical Parking System. The park-itself version is called Park Assist 2.

IIRC, Park Assist simply means reverse and front sensors.

Again, no Park Assist 2 option available in Australia for the new Jettas.

Small update. Vehicle is scheduled to be built this month according to the dealer.

Jettas built for the Caribbean do intact get sent to Germany for inspection. This was verified by speaking with a customer from Jamaica and this fact was stated without my hinting or prompting. Vehicles sent to the US or Australia are most likely inspected by VW in those countries but isn't really highlighted.

On another note seeing that my JETTA will ship from Germany maybe I will be able to track it easier than if it was to be shipped from Mexico.

I highly doubt this happens. Doesn't make much logistical sense to have them make the car in Mexico, have them sent to Germany, then onto destination countries.

I have tried this on the latest model Passat. It's so effin cool. It can do parallel and 90degree parking!!!

I was doubtful as well ziggyboy but that info has come from three separate persons, two of them without my prompting and in separate countries.

It doesn't apply to larger markets like the US or Australia but the Caribbean could never be considered a large market for VW and possibly it's logistically beneficial to them if they are only shipping 10 or so vehicles to the Caribbean per month?

Update: Vehicle built, VIN obtained and *drumroll* vehicle is listed as "internal transfer" and is on it's way to Germany :s
