Re-Becker this option was for the older Sprinter not the new current series referring to the electronic key operated electrically opening doors.
In Europe there is an option for two rear sliding doors not one.
First option Front doors open and shut only part way about 4' to 6' inches must be for handless folk?
Second option for side sliding electrically operated doors, both will open and slide interdependently to each other this is programed by Mercedes-Benz.Rear cargo doors same if you want, I think this is a special order option only for Emergency vehicles, and the cargo door rear option does not show on the Listed UK or European sites.but the feature exists!
For the time being Dodge does not appear to offer this option , However there is an upgrade for Spring in the U.S. that indicates further refinements and options windows and doors are mentioned but nothing specific,and I honestly know no more than the memo's I have seen from D-B in Europe.
The kit or option can be ordered as a separate item take away from the Desk if you push it, as Mercedes prefer to retro fit these units by their own staff, for obvious reasons and it's more profitable to order it when buying the vehicle new where you can order to the build sheet of options.
Mercedes-Benz in the USA will not supply the unit as to the Dodge has the franchise for the Sprinters/freightliners not Mercedes-Benz which is a separate independent franchisee holding licenses to sell only the sedans.. If Mercedes tried to order it in, there would be and inquiry from Damlier -Benz asking why? you have to get it from Chrysler.
My thoughts would be to contact the supplier who fits out the emergency vehicles , for the Sprinters they may be able to assist further to your inquiry re Electric door opening.
There are many after market kits in Europe for auto opening doors , but for the older Sprinters only, you would need an expert in Electronics to work out the program if you were to integrate this unit into the Dodge.as it has to be compatible to the Computer assist program.
I've tried to ask for information From Becker many times but have not received a reply, maybe they do it only for the Becker units, , so I suggest you ring them, and ask if they can do it for you.
If you require a link to the UK site for options on the Sprinter and prices which would give you an idea to how much they are retail then I can provide you with this, it's also in the 2007 Mercedes/Dodge/Freightliner OEM section as there are cross references to Australian UK and American sites.
Unfortunately different countries have different options.but it's a good read to educate you, as to the different ways Sprinters are sold elsewhere especially with Engine and Transmission options.
If you need assistance further let me Know and I may be able to help.
My guess is your local dealer either would not know or maybe is not that interested in a special order as His or her preference would be towards shifting inventory stocks only, some will go out of their way to help, others well!'Wont'.
Standard Sprinter in Europe, Key entry only, no assist. next option Key-less entry and Slide, next option Electrically opening sliding door! left or right, or optioned for both sliding doors, next Electric closing door assist. on the last option "electric closing door assist this is for all six doors.
Correction rear cargo assist doors are listed,
