Accessing COTUS from Europe (Error 500)

[NewMustangDE]

Instead of decoding the VIN I would prefer some sort of access to VISTA and find out where heck our cars are ATM.

Oh yeah, THAT would be great :headbonk:

(I still feel like an idiot for spending so much on a car - but what can you do apart from move to Sweden )

I feel your pain, well at least partly.

I did relieve the pain a bit by going back to manual shifting, which will save me EUR 23.000 in purchase price and an additional EUR 12.000 in company car tax over the next 4 years.

But after 20 years of driving automatics I will probably curse our government with every shift addle:

Huh... well ETIS says my car was built on monday (8/3/15) ... but none of the COTUS sites will recognize my VIN. To further annoy me, from WORK I get the above 500 error... at home no such thing. But if use my iphone browser, I just get a java-error.

:/

So Deysha/Fordservice told me that cotus is trial, for us customers only (well we know that is a fib) and not for stock orders(?)

Has anyone managed to track a MY2016?

And what would it mean if my car was a stock order?

anyone get usefull info from this?

A stock order is an order by a dealer for a car that has not been sold yet to a customer. It's the predominant way of selling cars in the US.

It works until shipping arrival or close to it, after that the car will mostly remain showing in transit. At least mine shows still in transit although ive been driving the car for 4 months already. I suggest you check regularly after the build date, also your priority code matters, the better the code the sooner you will get your car. Maybe ask your dealer what code he gave you.

Thanks notes, I would-be stressed otherwise

Well most of us early adopters learned that there are other thing to stress about like alignment issues and good/great dealer support etc.

So,
If Etis shows everything is blend, build and finished we are submitted to the info our dealer supplies, or do we have some other way of tracking our cars? I can't find any info via Cotus.

Another one from Belgium

Did you have your windowsticker already?
about tracking, cotus is not working for EU orders :( but you can mail if you are like 5 weeks away from factory [email protected] with your vin number and she gives more info about the vessel/ship etc.

 

[CertoDimi]

So with build 06/01/2016 no point in mailing them yet?

 

[YLA G]

Indeed, there is min 4 weeks waitin (from my experience) from car leaving the factory till going on the boat. Mine is build on 11/12/2015 and is still waiting in the harbor.

You sir,
have been more helpfull in the last few minutes than my dealer in the past months, for that I thank you.

Belgium FTW!
