Don't think the hook is on all but the slide out thing he talked about holding cards, is cool. I never use it but knowing you can press from the bottom to raise what you put in there is cool.

I don't think mine has the hooks, but the flip of the starter key is kinda cool.

I could soooo use those hooks. I keep 3 separate backpacks in my trunk and they go everywhere when I drive.

I installed the hooks a couple of weeks ago. They are really handy. Got them from ECS tuning.

Do you have a link or part number?

HeissRod

This looks correct, but the description is completely wrong.

That's them. I had to use self tapping screws to mount them in our car instead of the expansion fasteners that come with it. Just cut off the square tabs.

Looks like two of the hooks fit in the trunk?

Cars are a lot like people. They can be the source of much joy, and an equal amount of frustration. You can also learn new things about them, no matter how long you've been around them. If you'd like to discover more about your W211, pay attention.

Read the rest on the MBWorld homepage.

hold the unlock button by the door handle and windows will roll down automatically

Doesn't have to be by the door handle. Mine works from wherever the key is within range.

Now closing it, you have to point it at the IR sensor on the OUTSIDE door handle.

well mine does not do it from when the key is within range.

HeissRod

Same here and it only works sporadically.

That and you end up looking silly standing there waiting for your windows to open.

1. Walk up to car, pressing & holding the unlock button

2. Windows don't roll down, but car beeps & unlocks

3. Scratch head, stand next to car and repeat step 1

4. Car beeps again, but windows still don't roll down

5. Man walking by looks at you like you don't know how to operate a door handle

6. Repeat step 1 again and all 4 windows finally roll down

7. Stand there by your car looking around while the man from step 5 drives off shaking his head

8. Finally enter the car about 30 seconds after the windows have rolled down only to find the seats still hot

9. Start up the car, reluctantly closing the windows after such hard work to get them down, and turn the a/c on anyways

LoL @ the 9-step procedure to open your windows & Sun-R. Interestingly, on the '00 E38 we had the windows could be opened from a distance (provided the key fob was in range). I could open windows from my apt. then walk to car & it's aired out by time i get to it. I really think this makes more sense than the W211 way. Why stand outside the car and wait for it to cool....best to just sit inside and open all windows. Either way, it don't affect me since I rarely use this feature.
