Function and application in the centre console

The presented item from the Console parts group integrates an ashtray, a storage compartment, and a 12V power socket into a single housing. This combination allows for:

• aesthetic concealment of the power socket within a closable module,
• convenient storage of small items in a dedicated compartment,
• maintaining order in the centre tunnel without protruding cables and adapters. This solution is particularly useful for daily vehicle use when you want an organized, functional, and visually consistent console.

Construction of the ashtray and 12V socket module

The module is designed as a factory console element with matched geometry and guides, which facilitates installation in the designated spot of the centre tunnel. The construction includes:

• an ashtray compartment with a removable insert or a dedicated space for ash,
• an integrated 12V socket for powering car accessories,
• a cover or flap allowing the entire module to be closed and the contents hidden. Such a solution allows you to maintain the factory character of the interior without the need for additional external adapters mounted in unintended places.

Benefits of using an original component

Using the original ashtray and 12V socket module in a Mercedes W246 brings a number of practical benefits:

• Full integration with the console – proper fitment with frames and other centre tunnel elements.
• Ergonomic access to 12V power – the socket is placed in a natural, easily accessible location.
• Interior aesthetics – the closable storage compartment allows you to hide cables and accessories, improving the visual appeal of the cabin.
• Possibility to restore factory condition – especially important during repairs after damage or missing console elements. This solution will work well both for standard operation and for more extensive upgrades of the console area, where stylistic and functional consistency is important.

Condition, origin, and ecological aspect

The item comes from the used Console parts segment, which allows you to combine reasonable repair costs with the original build quality characteristic of the Mercedes brand. Choosing such a solution aligns with an approach that maximizes the use of existing components instead of reaching for new replacements.
