When will ConnectedDrive link to my vehicle in production?

My car is in production and has a VIN. But when I tried to put the VIN number into ConnectedDrive app it doesn't recognize yet. I tried a few consecutive numbers before mine and they didn't work either. How far down the line does the car need to be in a production line for the app to recognize the VIN?

It needs to be activated and linked to you which is generally done right before delivery. If it went just by VIN, anyone could get access to any vehicle.

The software may have improved since May, when I got mine, but you may want to remove the VIN from the app (if it's listed) and uninstall your ConnectedDrive app. Only install back after you get delivery of the car. When the ESA is setup properly by the dealer the car should automatically show up in the CD app after logging back in. In my case I didn't have to add it manually.
