Its never worked for me, I'll email the VW support team to see what they suggest
-
Thanks for the suggestions, nah I still get the same on the My VW app and the images are not loaded.

In a slightly related topic, my app still doesn't show my actual car.... Still defaults to this basic image (as below), any reasons why?

Happy to report I collected this beauty from Barnsley on Fridayπ I've already done 220 miles in fairly grubby weather, but lovin the upgrade from my 8 year old S3. Also pleased to have the boot liner, window blinds and Park assist Pro all fitted πΎπ For anyone interested, I've got Hankook tyres and they seem good to me, not that I've pushed too hard into corners yet. Going to try and fit my spare tyre and jack into the boot with polystyrene tray ( I took from my S3 ) later... hope it fits. Warning triangle already installed π Anyway I'll try to take some better photos soon after I've had some ceramic coating done.

Well that escalated quickly, it's made it to the UK port and it's been registered, not sure how long it'll take to get to the dealership though. Perhaps I'll have it by the end of the month π -

I was BW51, and was notified last week it had finally left the factory and is en route. The dealership said upto 3 weeks to get to them. My order is Lapiz BE, Pano, 360 camera, airbags, HK, Warmenau wheels, DCC. Hopefully will get the Park assist, liner and shades for free.π -

The subtle lettering on the plates is fine, but the duplication on the surround is a bit OTT for me -

Great news! π Has the dealership been emailing you updates or did you get them from VW direct? I've not heard anything from the dtd dealership for awhile and I ordered pretty much the same time as you. -
Looks amazing π

I guessed that might be the case, and to be fair my order form does state estimated delivery of mid Feb, but it'd be nice if it came a lot earlier especially as others have got their build dates now -

Still no update on a build week from my DTD salesman, I dont even have a estimated week. I ordered my Lapiz BE on the 29th August, with amendment for black wheels done on the 13th Sept, no updates from dealer since 8th Oct when he said no news yet. π€· -
The video shows 2 different car registrations, 1 of them being R20 VWW that has been used on VW press shoots previously, so this footage must be part of the UK launch perhaps?

How bizarre, I recognise a lot of those roads as I drive and cycle them a lot! They are all around Wantage in South Oxfordshire, notably Chain Hill and Sincomb hill over the Ridgeway, I must keep an eye out for this car. π

I got a response back from my Dtd dealer, they have now said they got notification yesterday that graphite wheels are not allowed on BE cars. I've now changed my order to black wheels.
