According to the sticker in the window on my '10 jcw it has the premium package and the cold weather package. However when i looked up the premium pack it says it has rain sensor, and the cold weather pack has heated seats and mirrors any of which I don't have. Did I get jipped or did they change what's included from my year model to the 13 year model. Also is there any way I can find out exactly what's actually included on my car without that window tag from the dealer? Thanks in advance for any and all responses

 

I'm not sure about your package. I had the same question about my '08 S and what I learned was Cold Weather Package amounted to really meaning Cold Climate, and I'm still not sure what that means or the difference from normal. Perhaps a different thermostat range or startup mapping in cold temps or what? No heated seats though. I do have heated mirrors though!

 

So I called the dealer and asked if they could look it up. Turns out he could and emailed it to me ASAP. Upon further inspection it isn't the cold weather package, it's the cold climate version. Does anyone know what the difference is? According to this sheet is does in fact have the premium package and does have the sport suspension(which I was curious about).

 

Drawn a fat zip on Bing, Google and there were a couple references to NAM, but no one here seems to know either.

 

There is also a site where you can see the options on your car.
