Worth looking at the Ohme Pro as it has some smart features and a low enough profile.

@furtive Didn't realise the first 2 letters indicated where it was registered! Wouldn't it be BI or something for Birmingham?
I've had BW and BJ from Birmingham before. (Unfortunately I got BW69 and not BJ69 on that year's lease car. :lol: )

May be a bit out of date, I believe Birmingham is anything from BA to BY (in otherwords "B").
I wonder if they kept the BJ's out of circulation....or make money on selling them as private numbers.

Interestingly I've been in touch with VW and I have a CS rep who has given me additional info yesterday who said it was at the port of exit, from where it can take upto 4 weeks.
So not too long for mine either.

I'd love to see pics of everyones max's. in particular the sensors on the sides of the wheel arches and also the seat controls to see if memory has been added.
Mines being delivered on Wednesday but from the pic I managed to get, it doesn’t look like it has the side sensors or new seats.

I suspect everyone else in this batch will have the same MY22 that I do.
Does that mean it won't have the ability for self parking or lane change?

It looks that way, which is unfortunate, but I guess not unfair as long as it wasn’t in the description at the time.

Does anyone have a brochure link to an my22 max?

Heard back from my dealer today: ordered end of Oct 21 and STILL don’t have a build date and am at status 00. Pretty sure that there are plenty of people in a similar boat but it’s very frustrating.

I ordered in Oct as well and as of Friday still no build date.
This is the first VW I have ordered and will probably be the last due to the complete lack of information.

I share the same sentiment. This is my first and last time I'll deal with VW for the same reason.

It does make you feel like this but the circumstances are very unusual.
My family has three cars on order with Ford.
A Kuga, Puma and Fiesta. All ordered in Feb and expected in qtr4 22. Not one single communication from the dealership or Ford.
Some manufacturers and dealerships are little better or worse than others but overall no one has an accurate picture of progress so they say nothing of consequence for fear of getting it wrong.
Circumstances globally are very unusual.

Exactly, the circumstances are unusual and I’d say you’re going to get a similar experience with nearly every manufacture bar perhaps Tesla.

What I’m not share is unusual or the norm is VW’s at times misleading marketing communication. I have confirmation from their customer support that my car would definitely get memory seats which obviously isn’t the case. It’s a shame they won’t be penalised for that.

Nevermind the fact that 2021 cars with travel assist are now a bit outdated because they can’t use the swarm data.

I agree the circumstances are unusual. I've dealt with Nissan and Ford a few times and mitsubishi once and have absolutely no complaints about them at all. All were very forthcoming with info whereas VW seem to come across as some sort of secret society when it comes to info in my personal experience. Info is very vague when I actually get some. A very poor experience.

Mitsubishi did mess up my car order (the car I have just now) to cut a long story short, I have the outlander phev, I didn't order a phev, just the petrol version and I have to say it is the best mess up I've had 🤣

Excellent. And very nice that it comes with mats - that is something I was thinking of ordering (I've already got replacement wheel trims ready to put on)

We ordered 11 August and are in the same position. We were on build week 33 (2022) for months but now it has gone. Our dealership says every EV they have on order has the same.

A number of us here on the thread are in this position unclear if the Gov grant will be honoured and whether, if it is not, is the car still affordable.
It's a decision the dealers, VW and Gov can make now that would either confirm the wait is worth it or allow us to cancel and move on.

Yeah it’s really stressful. We used Car Wow to negotiate a better price with our dealer. They complained at the time that they were making a loss selling the car. Now when we ask anything—which we haven’t, really—they say “your deal was too good, we can’t do anything more”. It’s really disappointing. Had I known, I would have gone with the other dealership who were further away but £1 a month cheaper lol. This all means I haven’t even had the grant conversation with them. I guess I’m burying my head in the sand about it. I am moving abroad until the end of the year and hoped my partner would have the new car so they feel able to travel and meet friends/family etc when I’m away.

Anyone know if there's a way we can set up the We Connect app beforehand? I'm getting a "Something went wrong" error so I guess it's only possible when we have the car...
