Vehicle Registration

Customers can use Siebel eService for eAutomotive to register their vehicles. You can find this information about the user in the Contacts screen of Siebel eAutomotive, and you can use it for follow-up marketing and service.

For more information about working with contacts and associated vehicles, see Siebel eAutomotive Guide.

A registered user of Siebel eService for eAutomotive can register a new vehicle by:

• Clicking the Register New Vehicle link in the My Accounts View
• Clicking New in the My Vehicles list
• Clicking the Register New Vehicle link in the home page

The user must begin by entering the VIN#. If the entry matches a VIN# in the database, the user can continue. If the entry does not match a VIN# in the database, the user cannot continue, because it is not one of your vehicles.

After the user enters a valid VIN#, the Make, Model, Year, and Trim fields are populated automatically with information from the Vehicle record. The user enters personal information, which is stored in the record of the primary contact associated with that vehicle. If there is already a primary contact for a vehicle, the customer cannot register that vehicle.

NOTE:  Before customers can use vehicle registration, you must activate registration workflows. For information about activating workflows, see the Release Notes document for your Siebel application.
