Order placed and now the waiting begins. Here's what I ordered.....


- 2016 Latitude 4x4
- 1.4L Turbo w/manual transmission
- Jetset Blue
- My Sky powered roof
- Cold Weather group
- Full size temporary spare tire


And apparently, on the 2016's....


- Satellite Radio is standard (glad I didn't have to pay extra for it - woo hoo!)
- Navigation is not an option (but may be available next June)
- Larger tires are still not an option
- Tonneau cover is no longer an option


They said I should have it in 6 weeks. (Yeah, I'm not too sure on that.) I told them most people's orders are taking 3.5-4 months so the salesman went to double check. But they still came back saying it should be 6 weeks. We'll see.


Although, it does appear they found what I wanted already in the system but it was intended for Orlando, FL. I guess they are intercepting it? But I don't think it has even been built yet anyway (Status: "BA - Pending Order" and Build Priority: "99" whatever those mean). I get my VON on Monday. So I'm not sure how they'll get it to me in 6 weeks or even 2 months.


...but I'm excited nonetheless!

Navigation and tonneau cover not available on any 2016 models? Sounds kinda ......wrong.

Yeah, I was disappointed. But they said the tonneau cover might be bought separately as an accessory later. And of course the Nav not until mid 2016 (June'ish) - but then, it might as well be a 2017 model.

The UConnect 6.5 is definately available on the Latitude 6MT. Confirmed by an email response from Chrystler. All options except the 17" wheels and "Navigation Package" are ready in my dealer's ordering tool. Just waiting for Chrystler to get their **** together so I can get my order in.

It may be confirmed by email, but the computer system wouldn't allow them to add in the Nav to my order.

 

[GSO_Kyle]

I'm in the same boat but am waiting to order exactly what I want.

 

[sgworldwide]

So that means my latitudes 18in black and polished wheels are no longer available for 2016? Sirius radio is standard no matter what on the 5 and 6.5 nav display and navigation has to be available as that with uconnect access is the main reason for having the 6.5 display upgrade

don't u mean the 18in wheels it already comes with 17 alloys with the automatic and tigershark 2.4 option unless u get the manual tranny then u get those 16in ones that also can be had on the sport as a upgrade to the 15in black steel ones

 

[R3N3GAD3]

The Nav and the 17 or 18 wheels may still be available with the 2.4L/auto trans for 2016 Latitudes.... but they are not available with the 1.4L /Manual trans.

Yes I'm sorry I meant the 18" wheels.

Interesting. My dealer said I couldn't get the 18" wheels with my 1.4/Manual Latitude. I'll have to call them up tomorrow and see what the deal is.

So I just got my VON#! How do I track it? Google searching says there is supposed to be a VOTS site to track it, but all links go nowhere or to the main Jeep page where I cannot find anything about tracking an order.


Also... My salesguy is still confident it will arrive in 6 weeks. He said worst case up to 8 weeks, but he think it may "actually come in this month." HA! I triple-dog DARE them to do that!

 

[dontpanic13]

PM JeepCares on this forum on contact jeep customer service(chat or phone) and they can give you an update. VOTS is not working any longer

 

[Dartser]

I placed my order for a 2015, 3 months ago. I still don't even have an order number. Lucky you!

You should have a VON the day of sale, if not then the order probably hasn't been placed in the system. I would definitely check with the dealer since there should be no reason that you don't have it yet

As dontpanic13 said, check with your dealer. You definitely should have had a VON# by now. Maybe you do and your salesman doesn't know about it? Maybe the dealer was waiting to order you a 2016 even though you wanted a 2015 model? This seems odd that you don't have it yet.


I made sure to specifically ask for the VON at the time of sale to make sure my salesman knew it was important and he was able to get it to me 2 days post the deal (due to end of the month flood of business and computer system issues).


Good luck and keep us posted!

Thanks. I hate to have to bug someone to track it for me. I wished the online system was working.
....Then I can be as excited (and OCD) as I want to be and track it 5 times a day!

Thanks, but that website doesn't exist.


I did, however, chat with an online customer rep who confirmed the VOTS system is down while they are revising it. But I can check in with them (via chat or phone) whenever I wanted and they would be happy to give an update (as others have pointed out too in this thread).


They did confirm receiving my order today - although they had to dig for it since it was so new. And they suggested I contact them early next week and they should have a better update for me then.
