Default Power rear sunshade

I live in TX..and contrary to what's been on the news recently, it's not always flooded. Most of the time it's Damn hot, and Damn sunny.
I'm looking for a power rear sunshade. I know they are an option on certain IS's with specific packages, but I really can't find much info. Does anyone have one on theirs from the factory? Or has anyone done a retrofit like i'm looking to do?
Anything would be helpful, even just a part number...
Thanks!

Mine came with one from the factory. I have tinted windows and it barely makes a difference to be honest.

I considered the power sunshade when i special-ordered my 3IS, but decided against it. It is a hacked-together mechanical gadget that looks mickey-mouse and works ineffectively. Just get your windows tinted, and use a Heatshield or similar window shade if you park outside for the day.

That's what I do, I've got 5% tint and a custom fitted shade for when I park, but it would be nice to have extra at the push of a button when I have rear passengers.

Ceramic tint makes a huge difference compared to normal or carbon tint in my opinion as i've had all three types on my past four vehicles

I tinted 5% around and my whole front windshield at 50% and it does wonders. The sunshade doesn't make a huge difference honestly.
