Comments welcome

Privacy glass?

looks a comprehensive spec, personally I'd add the reversing camera. My insurance company specifically asked if I had a reversing camera so I presume it assisted in lowering my risk profile, and therefore my premium. It works well on the Cali. One thing i wish I'd known about was the extra USB socket you can ask for in the centre console to work with the app connect... ask your dealer about that one. good luck with your order!

Hi Martin, Is the heat insulated tinted glass not the same as the privacy glass?

It is called privacy glass with heat insulation ( QLO).
X2 insurance companies quotes gave us a discount for reversing camera.

Heated front seats would be on my list.

Adaptive Cruise Control ?(works perfect with DSG)

Window in sliding door?

Rear View Camera?

Side Assist?

Tow bar (for bike rack)?

With regards to ACC there were some issues with this. It's now forcing one of two options: 1. A multi function steering wheel at £330 2. A multi function wheel price TBC.

white with black wheels and a black awning will look great - I prefer keeping it simple & I like your spec very much

also the 6.33" screen is beautiful too btw, I have the sat nav version & it's fantastic.

Is this a development from the last week or so? My understanding from the dealer was that if you ordered ACC you got a multi function steering wheel included for no additional cost and I believe other forum members have taken delivery of these. If this is a MY2017 change then it might catch a few people out. Might be time for an email to Guy...

Looking at my order, we ordered the LED Lights and had to add 'Lights and Vision" pack at 190 extra, we also ordered ACC and he said we get a multifunction steering wheel but there is no additional cost listed for that.
High beam assist was also an extra on top of LED headlights.

Hello
Did you change your order from the original posted one ?

 

[Hagakure]

I added the parking camera. Got it on my Range Rover and to be honest hardly use it but thought what the hell. Didn't add much to the price

Had to be black and white mate. Newcastle supporter. Don't tell anyone though. They might laugh at me

It was yesterday, The MFSW has always been added as part of the ACC but I believe that this has changed for MY17. The dealer asked for clarification of this a month ago and still has no answer. He told be it's holding up some orders. Also I was told that week 44 was the earliest time for a build of an Ocean.
