It's being prepped. Friday it's mine.

I hear you about the tracking. I'm glad I didn't set that tracking thing up. More frustration than information from the sounds of it.

Great! I'll be living vicariously through you so do post often about your impressions please

As for the tracker thing, don't want to come across as a complainer. Just sayin'

This whole tracker affair is a bust. It's unprofessional and the optics are just terrible. I ordered mine on the 23 of October so I wasn't expecting it until the end of January, to be honest, but I'm a believer of doing something right or not doing it at all. Apparently BMW has an excellent and very detailed tracker. If they can do it, I'm sure the likes of VW group can get their act together

This is interesting as the sites that were helpful in August 2013 seem to be dysfunctional now. The PWL site still works obviously but the Volkswagen Logistics link does not supply any schedules. The Ro-Ro link (which I now see means "roll-on and roll-off") doesn't lead to anything... I agree, overall the car is exceptional but the service surrounding this could be improved (including the post-purchase service that I now find lacking).

Sorry that this cannot be of better help

Re: Negotiating new Q7ser

Actually, you have to dig a little deeper to get the schedule. I managed to download it here:

The ship tracked was the seven seas highway, that was supposed to arrive in Halifax the 23 of |December, 2013. I tracked it perfectly on the marine traffic sit. As soon as it left for another port, the position of the ship in my audi tracker, remained around Halifax harbor, where it still is. Next ship to arrive on the 9 of January 2014, is the Olympian highway. So the tracker was off about 15 days, LOL. Oh well.
