Purpose and function in the front console

The presented storage tray integrated with an ashtray, cigarette lighter, and socket is designed for installation in the front part of the vehicle’s interior. The component is responsible for:

• ergonomic placement of the power socket within reach of the driver and passenger,
• stowing the ashtray in the lockable storage module,
• maintaining a consistent stylistic line of the center console,
• easy access to accessories powered by the socket.

Thanks to its compact design, the module helps keep the front part of the cabin tidy and limits the visibility of cables and accessories connected to the socket.

Design, color scheme, and interior integration

The black color of the housing has been selected to harmonize with typical Mercedes interior finishes. This color scheme facilitates visual matching to the factory console without the need for additional modifications or alterations. The storage and ashtray module forms a uniform unit, which promotes:

• a consistent look for the front console,
• reduction of light reflections due to the dark tone,
• easier maintenance of an organized cockpit appearance.

Such a solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a damaged component or restoring the original interior look after previous modifications.

Technical characteristics and installation

The component belongs to the Console parts group, meaning it has been designed for precise fitting with factory mounts and guides in the front part of the vehicle. The module’s construction accounts for:

• a dedicated mounting location in the front zone,
• adaptation for integration with the electrical system supporting the cigarette lighter and socket,
• arrangement of working elements inside the housing so they do not interfere with other console components.

This solution facilitates service and replacement – removing the old module and installing the used original is based on factory mounting points, without the need to interfere with the console structure.

Condition, origin, and practical application

The offered module is a used part, which in practice means a favorable compromise between cost and maintaining the manufacturer’s original specifications. Choosing an original component from dismantling allows you to:

• maintain factory fitment to the Mercedes interior,
• preserve compatibility with the electrical system supporting the cigarette lighter and socket,
• reduce the risk of installation problems typical of aftermarket replacements.

This solution works well both for standard repairs after mechanical damage and for restoring complete front console equipment in vehicles after modifications.

Equipment expansion and retrofit

Storage, ashtray, cigarette lighter, and socket modules are often used in interior retrofitting projects where maintaining a factory look is key.
