Hi does anyone have the electric roller blind (option code 540) in there car? if so how does it work and what does it look like both when in use and stored away some pics would be great . I was thinking of this as a option for my car but gave it a miss as had never seen one

It goes up/down with a button on the center console. It's just a piece of black mesh cloth, with a couple black platic rails that raise it. It came with my car, and I'd say it's marginally useful at best. I'll take a pic within the next couple days for you.

That be one hell of an expensive option down under. I'm seeing if I can get it fitted now too. It's just for blocking the sun for people travelling in the rear of your car.

Benz4me, I don't think that it will ever get that hot in Tassie. You may want to consider tinting as a cheaper option.

Hi Froggy I was talking to my sales guy the other day and it's too late to change my order (not that I wont too), We had already decided that the blind was not for us when we ordered the car the back seat wont have a lot of passangers use so wont be needed. I was really just interested to see what it look like.

Mercedes Benz are not cheap in Aussie the Cheapest Clk Starts at AU$90,000 CLK 200K and go up to AU$200,000 (CLK 55) there is very little in the way of option to add to your car that start under AU$500 the most expense is AMG styling Package AU$10600 followed by the distronic at AU$6500 every dollar spent over $50,000 on imported cars we have to pay a luxury tax as well as GST the rest of the world does not know how lucky they are I could have nearly brought two CLK 500's in America for the price I paid for my CLK

Hi, Benz4me, too late to change option means that your car is already in production, good chance of getting the car early , unless it really takes an awful lot longer to do the leathering.
