Earlier this month I bought a 12M + 1M free XBOX Live membership card. This card was branded with Forza 5 and promised the addition of a McLaren car.
I redeemed the two codes that came on the card via the XBOX site and both said they redeemed successfully.
My XBOX live membership took OK but I am not seeing the McLaren in my garage.
I’ve tried contacting MS but they are saying they can’t help me in anyway with the MS card that I bought. They have referred me to Forza.
What am I doing wrong and why can’t a see the car that I am meant to get via the redemption code?
Installing DLC doesn’t transfer the cars to your garage automatically. If the DLC installed correctly, you should see two versions of the MP4-12C in the Buy Cars list: one in factory paint, and one upgraded to A700 with the special livery, which should be listed as “FREE”.

Thanks ManteoMax
I actually found a post on Reddit after posting here (MS sent me here to ask).
From the XBOX dashboard I have to use menu option to manage the game. Within here it shows that the DLC is there to download.
After I’ve downloaded it, I can go into the game and then go into the garage and choose buy car and buy it for free.
Quite why these instructions aren’t on the card nor provided by MS when you contact them is beyond me. It shouldn’t be this hard to take advantage of an offer MS are making.
