2005 Model Changes

I have found some pictures of the 2005 CLK on www.jesmb.de, with a new DVD Command and a seven speed transmission. Does anybody know when production begins with these changes?

We have yesterday ordered an 05 CLK 500 Elegance Cabriolet with the 7G-Tronic for delivery in New Zealand in January 05.
We could have had delivery in Oct / Nov 04 with the 7G-Tronic but prefered to have it registered as an 05 model in New Zealand.
Colour options here in NZ are different from the USA but we have gone with Jasper Blue, Alpaca Grey leather and black top.
Most cars here are Brilliant silver or Anthracite black with Anthracite trim.
Its our first new Benz and we have not been put off by some of the negative posts on this site.
We traded a 2000 XK8 convertible which was absolutely trouble free.
Roll on Jan 3rd 2005
