W220 S600 Mods - Rear Fridge and Folding Tray Tables
So today I got my rear fridge and folding tray tables for my 2004 S600.... Now on to installation.....The folding rear tray tables are easy... The fridge is the issue. It seems like I'm going to have to cut through the trunk carpet cloth to get this to fit correctly. And it's supposed to be plug and play but I cant find anywhere to plug it into??? Note: it is a Mercedes Fridge for the W220, but I believe these were only in the Euro Spec ones. Anyone have some insight for me???

Are you in the US? If so, cutting a hole into the trunk for the fridge would be cutting through your gas tank. It may be cool to have a fridge in the back, but your car won't run.

Wow, that really blows. What a shady seller. He was told by me and others that the fridge won't fit in US spec cars, still he continued to try and sell it to other US members.
I would get a Paypal refund, and make sure you don't pay shipping to get it back to him, he should have to cover that cost. I would definitely say the item was not as described, and was missing major features that the seller told you the item would have. Such as "plug and play" functionality.

A Mercedes obviously!
Where did you get the tray tables?
My father had them on his UK spec '00 S500 and I thought they looked great. Added an almost RR/Bentley feel to the back seats with all that extra wood. It's too bad I never saw them as an option on US models. I'd be wary of your ventilated front seats as I'm fairly certain that the cooling function was piped in straight from the AC when there were rear tray tables. Whereas on models without the tray tables there are inlets on the back of the front seats where the air is sucked in from...

If you have a Euro Spec S Class the fridge would fit. I am open to offers unless I can get a refund from the seller, then I'll send it back to him....

So I started on the project. Here's some pics of my journey so far:

This is the back of the rear seat taken off.
Side by side with the back for the rear tray table that doesn't fit currently.
