Anyone ordered MY09 Spec Passat R36

[passatpout]

This is my first VW and I am pretty sure it will be one of the longest 5 months of my life. Especially since I am driving a Corolla until the R36 arrives...

I had to wait 6 months, in London, for a new-build Golf from Germany to be delivered.. and it's at most a 2 day drive from one to the other. Worth it though, I loved the RNS510, and so did my wife.. The only thing that made it palatable was the Golf GTi I had as a loaner until it arrived.....

Who would have thought I could get a VW in Australia faster?

Stick with it Gipper..i feel your pain.

Just got off the phone to my VW dealer and my car is due to land on our shores 2nd week of November..so give or take 2 weeks after that i should be behind the wheel of my very new and very black R36 wagon. CAN'T WAIT!!
Ordered 06/06/08 and build date was 05/09/08...hoping it will come with the reversing camera unlike the earlier deliveries. Apparently there is a new bluetooth unit/fix coming out end of this month for the RNS510.

So, from what i've read/seen and heard about this beast the 5 month wait will be worth it!!

Cheers,

Jayse.

we also ordered our wagon ( not R36- 125kw diesel, nav, xenon, leather, electrics) around mid june. dealer now says december. trouble is i've sold the wifes current car settling end of this month. this is 2 months behind original schedule but VW not interested in helping us out with a loaner in between.

Also i asked for bluetooth but was told is not yet avialable for rns510 - has anyone got bluetooth on a rns510? or is there an aftermarket add on?

Mate, that sucks!! Hope VW comes to the table to help you guys out.

As for the bluetooth, apparently the current BT doesn't work with the RNS510 but they are bringing out a new one that will..so that you can get your contact list etc on the screen and answer/call using the steering wheel controls. Should be out end of this month.

i reckon they should throw in BT for free due to the 2 months extra wait! ( what are my chances?
