i dont know of any dealers, but usually these options are only available from the factory, i think it would cost you a bunch to get it, like a new piece covering the woofer, all the installation, and a new motorized cover. GL finding one though.

My dealer quoted 4X the factory web price of $400 to install. This quote was for a fellow forum member. This means it would be a load !

The main problem is the rear deck shelf has to be replaced never mind the installation of the sunshade itself. Best to find a rear package tray with it from a wrecked vehicle and do it yourself. New from through the dealer I have no doubt would cost about $1500+ dollars.

yea, i agree it would be hard, truly, overall i wouldnt do it, it will be costly, and in the end you will be dissapointed because it isnt really worth 400 to me to begin with, it bocks the sun, but it also makes it harder o see whats behind you.

I like the sunshade. But when backing up I agree its hard. They need a feature where when you shift into reverse, if the shade is up, it will lower until you go back to drive or park then rises up to previous position, sort of like memory feature for the shade.

The sunshade is not hard to install. You will have to replace your switch row in the center console for one with the sunshade button. The system is controlled via CANBUS. No additional wires have to be added to the car. The shade itself hooks to the rear SAM (signal aquasation module). Direct plug in. The rear parcel shelf has to be replaced and the sunshade bolts on from underneath in the trunk.

Whoa, tell me about those rear heated seats. Is that a complete package - i.e. all new seats or just additional parts?

Does Steve K, the Euro Guru have a website? I'd be interested in some of these mods.
