Hi guys, I managed to find a cancellation order this week
http://www.porsche-code.com/PNMPMNQ2
Not all the options I wanted but will do until we can get a GTS on order.
We have been told our car is at Emden port waiting shipping, it’s been there 3 weeks and may take another 3-4 weeks to arrive in the uk?? We have been given the chassis number and order form so I know it’s built.

Anyone know when the next vessel will be leaving Emden or the name?

Macalla highway has just left sheerness without our car 😩

What are you asking, given your last sentence? Usually it's impossible to know which vessel individual cars are on.

Sorry for the typo. I meant without our car

The dealer told me they always get a vessel name??

Just wanted to work out a rough date it would get into the uk as we have trip planned and would of been nice to take the car.

Experience tells us that any information on car movements after leaving the factory compound is notoriously unreliable. Often the dealership doesn’t know when to expect individual cars and have been taken by surprise when cars arrive on site. Make sure you’ve got a Plan B for your trip!

There is a Porsche process applicable to their computerised system, basically there are codes assigned to each element of of the process from ordering to delivery to an OPC.

It is akin to a Project Plan where each element is shown, time periods assigned and then it is updated as the process ongoes.

There is a build code (+many others):-

when the built car enters the factory compound
when the car enters the port of Emden compound
when the car leaves the port
when the car arrives in the compound of the UK port
Etc

Your OPC if they so wish can view these codes, most do not bother but they can.

As it is the OPC is invoiced shortly after the car leaves the factory compound enroute to Emden.

It is therefore in their interest for the OPC’s cashflow to chase it up.

EDIT
They have yo know of these codes for how else could they know that the car has been at Emden for three weeks.

Codes below

Thank you Col, I will ask them for these codes tomorrow morning.

Nick I have a hire car ready just in case but would be nice to have the Macan.

In my experience Porsche Connect goes live when the car clears customs in the UK. Download Porsche Connect from Google Play and tie up with your OPC for the activation code.

As others have said after "Build Completion" the Porsche system is notoriously unreliable. Porsche share space on the ships from Emden with other VW group cars so it could be at Emden for a few hours or weeks.

Hi Peter, my opc are not helping. They will not activate connect code until pdi.

Hi Col.
I asked opc for what code the car is at and a screenshot of that page. They refused it and said it’s against Porsche rules for internal use only.

If that’s the case then many OPCs break Porsche rules as you will find screen shots all over this and other forums.
