Purpose and function in the centre console

The ashtray with cigarette lighter socket in the R171 model is responsible for the orderly arrangement of smoking and power supply functions within the centre tunnel. This element is designed as an integral part of the console, ensuring that the factory styling line and ergonomics are maintained after installation. The solution combines an ash storage space and a power socket in one module, which reduces the number of separate components and makes it easier to keep the cabin tidy. The design is intended to work with the vehicle's electrical system in accordance with the manufacturer's standards.

Advantages of using an original component

Using an original ashtray with cigarette lighter socket allows you to maintain the visual and functional consistency of the interior. The component is dimensionally matched to the factory opening in the console, which minimizes the risk of looseness, squeaking, or unsightly gaps after installation. Key benefits include:

• Factory fit for the console – no need for modifications to the centre tunnel.
• Consistent styling with other interior elements, in line with the manufacturer's design.
• Designed to work with the vehicle's electrical system in the power socket area.
• Ability to restore original functionality in case of previous removal or damage.

Installation and operational characteristics

The component is intended for installation in the centre tunnel, in the location provided by the manufacturer. Thanks to a design consistent with factory standards, installation is based on existing mounting points and connectors, which reduces the time required for replacement. Once properly connected, the cigarette lighter socket can serve as a power source for car accessories, such as chargers or inverters, in accordance with the vehicle's electrical system parameters. The ashtray module allows for easy cleaning in the designated area, and its installation in the console limits the spread of debris throughout the cabin.

Condition and use in interior service

The offered component is in used condition, making it a practical solution for interior service, especially in vehicles where the goal is to maintain original components. This type of part is suitable both for repairing a damaged console and for completing missing modules after previous modifications. When selecting used OEM parts for a specific vehicle, it is worth using the manufacturer's markings and the car's identification data.
