What does the 165 code mean exactly when tracking?

Hi, my car has been stuck in „165“ (on the ship) since at least the 23rd of September. Could it be possible it’s already arrived at port and just not yet updated?

I could be mistaken, but 165 means it’s left the factory and on the way to the outbound port. So your car is likely sitting in a port in Mexico.

It will update about a day after it gets on a boat.

Mine was stuck in 165 for a couple weeks then updated when the vessel got to destination port. You likely won’t ever see awaiting carrier assignment, dispatched from factory or at the port (of exit).

The fact that “dispatched from factory” is 2 steps after it actually leaves the factory tells you everything you need to know about mybmw tracking.

Looks like you're Germany based in which case id assume your car is due to arrive at bremerhaven. 23 September just missed the boat quite literally.

The current shipment to bremerhaven is the hamburg highway which is being loaded. It should depart by the 27th latest. ( I'm holing 26th) and should be updated at code 195 at sea by the 29th.

Mines also being onboarded (hopefully) to the hamburg highway.

Hi! You seem to have the means to find info I cannot (ship schedules)

My m2 has been in 165 for a bit and is at port lazaro cardenas.. (left factory 2/11).

Any idea of ships leaving Lazaro headed to Hueneme?

as far as I can tell, 165 means parked at the factory waiting for a train to a port. they don't move to a port until a ship is ready to pick them up.

that was according to several genius calls. mine has been in the parking lot since January.

Mine sat at 165 from 11/20 to 12/06 if that is any help.

Just do what I did:

Check everyday once an hour and slowly grow insane. Worked for me!
