MAGGY this works for Rams, so it may work for you also.
Use this link:
http://insightnl.extra.daimlerchrysler.com/
click on Dealer login
look for the code number for the dealer (its on your sheet you got from the dealer)
then to to TRACK VEHICLE
you can run the VIN, VON, all vehicles by dealer code, or Fleet account number.
Hope this helps
Have fun with your new ride

Unfortunately too many people found out about this great feature and DC has disabled it. You need a username and a password to log in and only dealerships are given those. Oh well.
You can go to the employees website (http://www.bramptonassembly.com) and become a site supporter and the employees will look up your information for you. They can only do it if you have a VIN and you are D1 status or higher. They actually told me the exact time my vehicle was "born" and many other steps in the process. It is a bit slower than being able to look it up yourself but the information is the most current and straight from the people who build the cars. Usually it takes them about 12 hours to respond. Someone will get your information and then take it to work with them then update the info when they get home.

Your salesperson should be able to update you. Mine called today and told me my magnum is built and currently in West Seneca, NY. The car should be here and ready for pickup by Friday. He was able to tell me along the way what was going on with the build.
FYI - I overheard a Sirius area rep saying that there may be equipment supply problems for the magnum. If you ordered your car with the satellite radio and it is taking a long time, that may be why. If you did order it, I would start asking about it.

Well I'll be smoked. I ordered every problem there was, Sunroof, DVD nav system and Sirius radio. I'm 16 weeks from order and still only advanced to D status. So much for a big Father's Day present

I got the sunroof and nav system also. I think it's the satellite radio thats holding your car back. Mine only took 7 weeks from order to shipment.

Sat radio hold up is not true. I just posted a message to the guys at the factory where the cars are built and they say that the sat systems are being installed. The person who responded works on the line and saw the systems going in. Not sure if there are any other holdups but the sat system is definitely not one of them.

Well, great news guys!!! My ordered car is waiting to be shipped. I called and expected to still be in the first phase and she told me my car was built on Monday and was in the KZ stage. I said to her, are you sure this is for a silver rt? and she confirmed!! I asked how long until it will be shipped, she said she did not have the shipping scheduel, but now that i have a VIN to call back but her guess was 3-4 weeks. This will be right on time, i was seriously expecting new years before my car got here!!!
I ordered a silver rt with nav, sunroof, sirius, and the darker leather. I guess they got their stock up!! Cant wait till Maggy gets here.

My car was trimmed last friday and shipped this monday. It's supposed to be here Friday. I'm in Ohio and the car is sitting near Buffalo, NY so maybe that's why my ship time is much less. 3-4 weeks seems like a long time unless your on the west coast and they have to ship it by train.

She said 3-4 was a rough estimate so i will call back today to see if anymore info has been delivered. I am in maryland. Im not sure of the exact process but NY should only be a day or two away in terms of delivery i would think?

NY is only 150 miles from where I am. Mine is currently scheduled to take a week.

You have to add 2 to 3 days for customs coming across the border from Can. Takes about 12 days to get to Georgia.

I ordered my RT today. Can someone decode the order status for me. I've seen KZ and D1 on this thread? Mine currently shows BA - I assume this probably means 2006 before I see mine. :)
Not to get off subject, but how have people done on prices? I'm in the SF bay area and got mine for 500 over invoice after faxing quotes to over 20 dealers.. Long process, but I think worth it as it seems many are paying sticker right now.
