Thread: 2013 D4 Information

I have all those options less the cold climate pack so I guess it comes down to when you ordered it.

I might follow up on the tracking also.

As for options I ticked pretty much all the boxes apart from the cooler box as I have a 230 Litre fridge in the van.
Entertainment pack for the kids for the long trips, Cold Climate pack for the trips up to the Highlands, Logic 7 because I love my music, Surround Cameras, Vision assist, 20 inch 10 split spokes, Nara Bronze, upgrade leather, privacy glass and a few things from the accessories list.

Did you get the keyless entry as well?

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you end up paying.

Got keyless as well, Tyre monitors, Target tracker sticker for the van, stainless steel trim finishers, stainless steel tread plates, bulb kit and warning triangles also for $135K..... optional extras, what a killer!

That's the problem with European cars; Lexus gives you gloves and mat for changing tyres, with first aid and I think triangle thrown in.

Have been tossing up keyless all weekend.

I've heard of this too but can't confirm it. At the very least they can tell you which ship it is on, and you can track the ship. I CAN confirm this...

My MY13 D4 is off the production line and waiting for ship assignment! Dealer said he'll give me the ship name so I can follow the progress, once he knows which ship it is assigned to. His best guess is Jan 15th delivery.

Don't know about gloves and mat...I'll need to take a better look but my Merc came standard with quite a comprehensive first aid kit and the triangle thingy...

My Disco is loaded and left Southhampton on the 3rd and is headed to Port Elizabeth, arrival on the 20th. Gets to Melbourne on the 7th of Jan.
Exciting times...

Sounds pretty good, I'll follow it up and see how I go.
Has anyone else heard of this.

Head over to: https://att.2wglobal.com/gstattweb/o...uickSearchPage and put your VIN in the Cargo ID field and it will show you the ship name and it's itinerary.

Then you can go to Live Ships Map - AIS - Vessel Traffic and Positions and type in the Ship's name and it will show you where the ship is (provided it's in range of an AIS receiver - otherwise it will say that the ship isn't found). If you keep checking closer to the next ports arrival date and you'll be able to track it coming into port.

These two pages were in my favourites during my order process earlier this year

You need to allow about 2 weeks from when the car lands in at your port and when you get the keys.
