Purpose and function in the vehicle

The described element is designed for installation in the rear part of the centre console, where it is responsible for distributing air from the air conditioning system to the rear passenger area. The integrated storage panel provides additional, convenient space for small items, enhancing the interior's functionality without interfering with the factory Mercedes styling.

The original design ensures proper fitment with other centre tunnel components, stable mounting, and compatibility with factory air ducts. This maintains correct air circulation and an aesthetic cabin appearance.

Construction and technical features

The rear centre console panel with air vent and storage consists of a housing matched to the tunnel lines, an air vent with airflow direction adjustment, and a storage compartment. This solution allows for:

• precise directing of airflow to the legs or torso of rear-seat passengers,
• convenient storage of small accessories inside the compartment,
• maintaining a consistent, factory look of the Mercedes interior.

The item belongs to the Centre and roof consoles group, meaning it has been designed with appropriate rigidity, resistance to daily use, and fitment to original mounting points in the vehicle in mind.

Condition, fitment, and installation

The product is in used condition, which means it has been removed from a vehicle and may show signs of normal wear while retaining full structural functionality. For proper selection, it is recommended to compare the shape, type of mounts, and the layout of the air vent and storage compartment with the part currently installed in your car.

Installation involves seating the panel in the rear part of the centre console and connecting it to existing air ducts. Thanks to the component's factory origin, the installation process is similar to plug-and-play, without the need for modifications to the tunnel or interior.

Benefits of using the original rear console

Using the original rear console panel with air vent and storage in a Mercedes W205 or X253 allows you to restore the factory functionality of the air conditioning system for rear passengers and the aesthetic appearance of the centre tunnel. This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a damaged part after a collision, mechanical wear, or when upgrading the interior to a version with rear ventilation.
