Air balance and rear spoiler

Does anyone in the US has a C400 with Air balance in their car? My dealer just send me a message saying that Air balance and the rear spoiler are not available on the C class order guide even though they are on the MBUSA web site.

I have a US C400 with air balance, but not the rear spoiler. I am also in California too.

That's weird. I don't know why my adviser said that. I did some check on some C400s on autotrader and they do have air balance. It is just the rear spoiler that no one has. Maybe it is a dealer installed item only and come directly from the factory.

According to the mbusa website the rear spoiler is a dealer accessory and comes ready to be painted to match your car. I think I might order it along with the roof spoiler.

Not to be mean but, this is the silliest, most frivolous, option on any car. You can buy 25 years of car air fresheners for the price of this thing.
I would have gladly paid 1k for rear seat heaters and a rear climate zone than 25 bucks for this silly thing that takes space from the already small glove box.

IIRC it's $300 plus paint and installation... I'm guessing about $500 when its all said and done.

Does it come with the sample perfume or do you have to purchase them separately ?

I imagine many folks say the same thing about owning a luxury car, of any type. If the system cuts down on fumes even 5% from cars ahead with double filter, I'm in. I don't have much use for a rear seat personally, much less a heated one.

Yeah dont forget the air balance adds the fragrance AND the ionizer which is worth it in my opinion

Came with a full one as well as this small little case that has samples of the 4 available. You can also purchase a refillable one for your own fragrance, but I happen to like the one they give you. I'm 2 months in and it is barely half empty so it lasts a good while. I have it turned on the lowest level and it seems to provide the perfect amount without being overwhelming

I remember thinking the same thing when power door locks first started showing up. At the time I couldn't imagine anything more silly or frivolous. I mean, seriously?!?! Who needs power to lock and unlock the doors?!?!? Thats what I thought...THEN. But NOW it is hard to find a car without power door locks and I can't imagine not having them in any of my cars today.

I intend to order the AirBalance on mine. One thing for sure, the ladies will appreciate it

Does it come with fart smell? That is the fragrance most characteristic of my own car. Maybe a variety of different food farts are available, curry vs Mexican anyone?

You can provide that fart smell on you own after eating Indian food

I didn't order it but I did consider it...I think it would be a nice feature to have. I mean it sure beats hanging a fragrance tree from the mirror...and hey why not...after all it is an MB.
