Armed with my newly acquired VIN number, I gave Topix a whirl…. amazing what detail you an see about your car when you register and look up your specific vehicle.
Thus far I have learned that my yet to arrive (but built) car has
CONTINENTAL TIRE VENDOR - assumes that means I get the Continentals?
FRONT SCUFF PLATES-ILLUMINATED - assume that is the RR badge in the door sills (mentioning as I'm getting a Prestige and was not expecting that)
PREMIUM AUDIO 1280 W - strange one this, I did spec the upgraded 825W Meridian but not the 1280W…
LESS TRAFFIC MESSAGE CHANNEL - so no traffic updates?? Can see the sense in this since we do not have an equivalent service here in SA
DU EXH OLET W/RND TL PIP GARN - after some head scratching I read this as Dual Exhaust Outlet with Rounded Tailpipe??? Nice to know since the SD4's I've seen this morning all have a single outlet…
MAGNETIC DAMPING SYSTEM - aaaahh, my Magnaride!
PIANO BLACK APPLIQUES - anyone know what this is??
XENON HEADLAMPS - seems to have snuck out of the factory with a pair
REAR END CONSOLE WITH VENTS - the mysterious rear passenger air vents??
AUTO DIP FRT/RR HIGH BEAM AST - Is this high beam assist? I did not spec this extra...
The bit that has me less excited are these three lines
SECOND ROW 2 INDIVIDUAL SEATS
LESS REAR SEAT CENTER ARMREST
LESS HEADRESTRAINT-REAR CENTER
I specifically asked for the bench seat, with armrest, with head restraint…. that said, I am guessing my mistake was to request the bench seat when the Coupe was still standard spec 2 seats - so probably went through as customer wants the non standard option (which was bench by the time car was built)
Anyone know what the procedure is when you get a car not to spec?? I'm guessing it's "take it as is, or wait 6 months??"
