NEW 2009 Euro Luxury Auto Pinging

[CU2 Euro 09]

bit of a bummer that the 08/09 models don't have the window up/down feature via the remote key

Unless that helps those with the pinging issue I can't see the relevance.

I just commented as the previous post mentioned the window/key update

It's a means of identifying a 2010 model year car even if built in 2009. So it is useful information and relevant for those looking for a car with the fix applied at the factory. Good info.

FYI – I also now have the vehicle identifiers for your car, they are as follows –



Build and compliance will of course be 09 and 09, but car is 2010 series. In case you were unaware, this means that it has a black parcel shelf behind the rear seats, not grey like the 2009 series, and also you will be able to lower ALL the windows AND open the sunroof using the remote, and also close them up again in the same way. This was not an available feature on the 2009 series.



I havent checked my Vin but mine is an MY 2010 and it has the black parcel shelf and windows controlled by the remote control on the key...but it still needed to the new software and the new knock sensors.

Cheers

it would help us out alot of you make that VIN check for us all. it will be on your rego papers if you can't be bothered looking for it on the car.

cheers.

dood, that email from your sales might be just a load of moo poo. Got my rego papers here right next to me. My VIN number is JHMCU2xxxxC21xxxx, which, if my basic maths is correct, falls after 202164.

Unless I'm missing something here, e.g. they decrement VIN numbers or I'm looking at the wrong part of the VIN no. then either the sales is full of $|-|!+ (which I hope is the case!) OR J doesn't have a correct inventory of their cars/which cars have the patch applied (scary!)

so I guess it's still a role of the dice then aye.........hehehhe.

I did have my doubts when he replied so quickly after I asked that day.

Anyhow I'm getting a manual so crossing my fingers.

[ozscott]

dont you love the way car salesman always reply with "great news...." - that really gives me the sh.ts.

Seems to be an auto thing anyway, so you should be right!

we bought out one from Horsnby Honda and they seem good on the service side. even if we had that prob I'm comfortable with their service level to have the issue resolved.

the worst is when the try to talk there way out or don't acknowledge the issue.

Mine is JHMCU26409C216659 and it does have that blasted ping.
