The properly shaped body allows for stable seating in the intended location, and the connector design enables correct connection to the vehicle’s electrical system. Thanks to this, the user maintains a consistent interior look and functionality in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.

• consistency with the vehicle’s original electrical system.

This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a damaged socket or restoring full functionality to the front part of the cabin after interior repairs.
