2006 CLK & Options
I finally ordered my CLK.
It is a 2006 350CLK with Diamond Silver Exterior, Blue Top & Stone Interior, and the following options
DVD Command Navigation System
Keyless Go
Wood/Leather Steering Wheel - (It’s required that either this be
ordered or the Steering Wheel with Gear Shift Buttons)
Comfort Package (317)
-Active Ventilated Seats with Heating Feature (401)
-Driver Multi-contour Seat (404)
Lightening Package (319)
-Bi-Xenon Headlamps with Active Curve Illumination (615)
-Headlamp washers (600)
Premium Package (326)– the car cannot be ordered at this time
without this package
-6 Disc CD Changer (819)
-Harmon/Kardon Logic7 Surround Sound (810)
-Auto-dimming Mirrors (249)
-Garage Door Opener (232)
-Heated Windshield Washer System (875)
Run-flat Tire Package (328)
-Mercedes Extended Run-flat Tire (R66?)
-Tire Pressure Loss Warning System (477)
The only thing that I didn’t order was the Multiplex Super Ultra Ashtray
System.
It will be arriving approx. the last week in Sept or the first week in Oct. - Is this typical with most cars?
It has been real helpful joining this forum & getting advice and/or reading postings. I’d like to thank the following who have replied to my postings or have communicated thru the private message system.

Wood Steering Wheel or Steering Wheel Gearshift Buttons

I tried to go back to Mercedes site & my downloads and could not find where it talks about the Steering Wheel Gearshift Buttons or see what they look like. If you know where I can see a picture of it, please tell me.

The buttons on the steering wheel for shifting gears are exactly that. They are simple switches just behind the steering wheel, not paddles or anything else as fancy. They are plain grey. I'll take a picture of mine to show you, at some point today/tomorrow. I've not really used them either in all honesty.... working my car in before kicking it's **** down the autobahn at MAX!!!

By the way there is a small white triangle with a red edge on the bottom of the left pane [long explanation huh] of each posting that say's "Report Bad Post" and I was going to click that on your posting re: "down the autobahn at MAX!!!"
that's mean to say! (only kidding I'm just very jealous). That must be great to be able to really test your car. Let us know when you do.

Maybe there are others on this forum who have ordered the CLK and know why? Also I am not sure if it only applies to the Cabriolet but I would think not.

Steering Wheel Gear Changer
As promised, here is the picture Steering Wheel Gear Changer. There is one on the other side of the steering wheel, exactly the same. You push towards the dash to go down a gear and towards yourself to change upwards, obviously.

Were you talking about Parktronic or the Premium Package. It looks like I goofed the Title box I should have typed in Premium instead of Parktronic IE I have been told that parktonic is not available with the 06' CLK Cabriolet. Sorry

No, it's not really required, but depends where you live or work. In Amsterdam (The Netherlands) for example where parking is at a premium and the parking spaces are like matchboxes, then I'd recommend you get it, unless you like adding different shapes into the car, such as those of traffic cones.

I'm talking about Parktronic as you said you wanted Parktronic and wasn't able to get it.
What exactly is the premium package all about? Command, H/K Speakers?
The only packages available to me were:
Sports package (which I have) or the AMG Package. However the AMG package is 3.5 times more expensive than the Sports package. I didn't see the point.
I can explain what you get for each if you want.

Consumer Reports had Keyless Go as a recommended item, which surprised me. Does anyone know what the rational is behind why they recommended it? Another consumer site called it a very expensive gadget.
