Thanks Newfie, I'll ask for that though at the moment I suspect it'll say MY22 not 22.5.
The MY22.5 changes seem to be for cars built from week 48 (29-Nov) so I think a lot depends when the build actually starts.
Incidentally I initially misread that, and thought your car was actually built and at Grimsby, not just confirmed for build and destined for Grimsby! Eyes just popped out there for a moment
I wish mate.
Just asked my guy at the dealer and mine is still MY22
Can't see it changing somehow.
Previous experience (on a Tiguan) is that the MY you get depends on when it's built. We got free upgrades on the Tiguan due to a .5 MY refresh, simply because we ordered in November and it wasn't built until December, after the build week switchover. So it might happen. I'll see what the stealer says
It all depends on when it all fits in with timings. Some you win some you lose.
I remember on my Tiguan the MY change that my Tiguan took on was the removal; of the Panoramic Sunroof Ambient Lighting as there had been cases of that causing fires. So I thought I had lost that.
A year after having the car they recalled certain builds of Tiguan's to have the lighting reconnected as these builds still came fitted with the wiring but just not connected.
I thought that was quite good of VW to do this considering we were told we would not get it.

Agreed Newfie. We ordered ours with the 1st get infotainment (with the physical buttons down each side vertically and the ugly IR strip at the bottom) but the .5 refresh replaced that with the touch-sensitive version with the hidden IR strip at the bottom. Some you win, some you lose.
Ours was early enough to have the ambient sunroof lighting, and the recall was obviously applied to us. Ours was also early enough to have the wireless phone charger fitted, that rapidly became unavailable for over a year in the Tiguan because idiots kept using it as a coin tray and the Qi charger in the mat caused overheating leading to fires!

Indeed. I wanted to change my order from Stonewashed Blue to Kings Red, but my dealership told me that they can only modify an order to select Kings Red starting from week 48. My order has estimated build week 49 (mid December), and build week confirmation by the factory is expected before build week 48. Once the build week is confirmed, I won't be able to change the colour (so I was told) and I cannot amend it now because right now Kings Red is not yet a thing for the UK. Only hope is that the estimated build week 49 is over-optimistic and the actual build week will be next year, with factory confirmation after week 48.

It’s confusing that they say the changes will apply for orders taken from the 1st of December, and then later they say they will apply to all cars built from week 51 onwards regardless of order date. The latter is a pretty clear statement so I am assuming that is the one that applies.
I choose to see this as a win-win. Either I get the new stuff, which seems nice, or I don’t but that means my car will arrive sooner and in the relatively near future.

The latter is the way MY updates have always worked. The factory basically switches over to a new configuration on a certain date.

I'd be prepared to stake a hotdog or two that anyone that had their vehicles actually go into build before week 51 won't get these upgrades, even if the build completes after week 51. Whereas anyone placing an order after 1-Dec is guaranteed the upgrades. Nowhere do VW state that MY22.5 applies to all cars completing their build from week 51 onwards, only those going into build from week 51 onwards. Sneaky, they are.
My vehicle was confirmed build week 40 for example, so I expect to be on a MY22 not MY22.5 specification even if the actual completion of my vehicle's build is during or after week 51. This is because I suspect my vehicle has been up the line once already (hence 'built' to MY22 specification) and is awaiting components to finish the build.

What’s the likelihood of them retrofitting the new configuration?
16 Sep: ID3 Max in Moonstone Grey. BW 40 confirmed. ETA early Dec.
...lots of bad info and delays...
27 April: at port. ETA end of May.
Delivery ETA: 18 May!

In my opinion, zero chance of them retrofitting the new config if the old config has already been built. The nearer you get to a confirmed build week 51 though, the better your chances. And if your confirmed build week for your vehicle is 51 or above, you should be guaranteed the new configuration, per the VW documentation.
As Newfie said, it's the luck of the draw at MY refresh time. I might add a column for "Expected MY" on the tracker spreadsheet based on my expectation...

With those of us that are currently in build weeks no one can confirm if the car are being part build and completed later (which means a mass of vehicles in storage considering they are supposed to build 1200 cars a day) or they start there build at a later week. If its the latter many of those already entered in to build weeks could get lucky and get the 4 offerings they are giving to vehicles built from week 51 onwards.
We will see what Santa brings.
