Default Is VinWIN dead?

According to the registry, Chrysler killed VinWIN. Anyone else see that? My car is in "I", and i can't believe that i will not be able to track it anymore. Is there another way that anybody knows of to track a car?

It is still not working as far as I can see, although mine has been in JB and at the border in Windsor since the 23rd, go figure.

Ditto!
Im guessing Chrysler finally plugged the leak, so to speak. They are tired of us knowing too much. VV gives us too much ammunition to use on them when we call or email. Venthos has another link that he is using now, but hes keeping a lid on it. Its not quite as good as the old link. It doesnt show any future dates. But its better than nothing.

Long story short, Chrysler has caught on to what I was doing and has broken a large part of the databases/systems that I got my data from. I've reverted back to an older mechanism for grabbing this data but (at least for pre-KZ status cars) it seems it lists future event dates as "N/A" instead of guessing a date/time. So, things are mostly functional once again but Chrysler may have VinWIN in its sights and looking to kill it off. VinWIN's days may be numbered.

Well, they may get you eventually Venthos, but we all owe you a huge "thanks" for the work you've done and the info you've been able to provide. Because of VinWin, I never had to go through the problems of using the call center to see my SE's progress.
