Same thing from classic
I got the same price quote. My dealer could not even find the part in the catalog. I'll be ordering the shelf and AUX input tomorrow or Wed.
-- UPDATED -- I ordered the parts from Classic. Should be here by the end of the week. $105 for the shelf (and its many parts), AUX input, and shipping.
I am curious about if anyone knows where otello is. I am really hoping for an on-time time to port.

Now I'm Confused...
After a number of days (since my MINI missed the Otello) the WW tracking site has said my MINI was received at the dock and booked on the Jingu Maru that was to pick her up on Thursday this week. Now this morning the WW site says it has no information on my VIN #. I double checked to make sure it was entered correctly.
What's up with that? Could my MINI have been loaded on another ship with a different company? (She's coming though the East coast, I assume, being in the Chicago area.)

My Cooper S finished production on 9/5 and I'm in LA.
I wonder if our cars are on one of the non-WW lines because I still can't track it on the WW site with my VIN.

alright... here is what i found... on this site..
Mini uses WW and NYK to ship to the west coast...
According to the NYKline.com site....today (12Sep05), the "OOCL Faith (callsign VRWG6)" left Southampton, GBR to arrive at Houston, TX on 29 Sep and to arrive at LA on Oct 06, 2005.
Ask Mini said my car is now in transit.. the last ww left on 8th and next on 18th, so I figure I must be on this ship...
sailwx shows them last reporting in on the 10th... prob right before they pulled into port... http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shi...tml?call=VRWG6
I am still waiting on an email from the mini dealer for some info on my order...

Automated ASKMINI can be quite a few days back from what is actually happening. Took like 4 days for it to state that mine was in transit. OL is even slower.
The most accurate is to talk to a person on ASKMINI.
Just bought an AutoUp circuit
Need to decide if I really want to pay the $$ for the Invisishield. Will probably have the headlights done at minimal

Good job! I was also looking on the K-line site and found the following:
http://www.kline.com/PCC-RoRo/pccschedule.asp
If you scroll down to the 'Car Carrier/RoRo Sailing Schedule - Import from Europe & Mediterranean to Mexico and U.S.' , the 'Shenandoah Highway' set sail from Southampton on Sep 8, but I have no idea which port the MINIs would get off at, if this ship does carry MINIs!
Here are the Discharge Port dates:
Port Canaveral - Sep 19
Altamira - Sep 22
Veracruz - Sep 23-36
Galveston - Sep 28
Jacksonville - Oct 02
Newark - Oct 04
Baltimore - Oct 5-6

Huh
Apparently the OL updated for me. It's En Route.
I'm not sure it's a K-Line, though when I searched on NYK for a list of their ships leaving from Southampton to Port Hueneme, they didn't find anything either. It's a mytery.
The K-Line's listing didn't have anything west of Galveston, TX which makes me doubt that we'll be riding with that boat.
I'm guessing NYK OOCL Faith as well. The interesting thing is that if you look at the schedule for the shipment, when we hit Houston, the carrier switches from OOCL Faith to BNSF which, last I checked, is Burlington Northern Santa Fe. I wonder if this means we stop in Houston and get shipped overland via railway. If this is the case, better be closed containers!
That, or I can change my annual Houston Christmas trip and make it early by three months.

Owners Lounge - EDD
My Estimated Delivery Date is listed in the OL: 9/23/05. That is the day I want to pick Minerva up, but if that day holds up there's probably no time to have the invisishield installed. My MA said the 23 MAY be possible if everything goes exact. One stall due to the hurricane or a hiccup at the VPC and no way.
Moral of this ramble - check the OL see if your EDD is there.

Yup mine said "En Route" as of last night too.
Damn I was kinda hoping "Monique" would get offloaded at Port Hueneme because I work in Agoura Hills and maybe would have driven to the Port just to see if I could see her coming off the ship.
Oh well ship it...train it..truck it... whatever... just get it to me fast!!

jdmarino - It sounds like you're production week is week 37 or 38. If you call ASK MINI they'll be able to tell you the exacts on that.
Icarus has been turned over to the carrier! I hope that means he'll get on the Jin-jin Maru tomorrow before it leaves port. He doesn't show up, yet, on the cargo list.
I changed the name of the boat because it sounds a little like a clip out of the song from Mary Poppins called Chim Chim Cheree that says Chim Chim Cheroo. Never mind.

For the West Coasters (and beyond!) those of us who were finished around early September and weren't on the WW ship are almost definitely on the OOCL Faith. I chatted with ASK-MINI and they confirmed that I shipped out on the 12th of September. The only vessel that matched with was the OOCL Faith.
Just FYI!
Dang, the only mode of transportation Miles won't have taken is air.
