Purpose and function in the rear console

The described element is designed for installation in the rear part of the centre console in Mercedes W246 class models, providing rear passengers with convenient access to the ashtray and storage compartment. The integrated power socket allows for connecting onboard accessories, which increases interior functionality during longer journeys.

This type of solution is particularly useful in vehicles used for family or business purposes, where the rear cabin area is heavily utilized. The design of the element is matched to the factory shape of the console, which allows for maintaining a consistent interior look.

Construction and functional properties

The ashtray and storage compartment in the rear console have been designed as an integrated module that:

• enables convenient opening and closing of the storage lid,
• provides a dedicated space for small items in the rear part of the cabin,
• provides a power socket for passengers' mobile devices.

Thanks to its factory origin from the Mercedes range, the correct mounting points and geometry matched to the console are preserved, which facilitates installation and ensures stable seating of the element. The module is prepared for operation in the rear interior zone, where resistance to frequent use and repetitive opening is essential.

Condition, origin, and fitment

The element comes from the manufacturer's original equipment line, which helps maintain stylistic and functional consistency with other interior components. As a part from the secondary market, it is suitable for users who want to restore full functionality to the rear console after damage or wear of the previous module, without the need to invest in a new set.

For proper selection, it is recommended to verify compatibility by the OEM part number and interchangeable numbers in relation to the specific equipment version and vehicle year. This approach minimizes the risk of mismatch and facilitates trouble-free installation.

How to avoid mistakes when choosing a used part

When choosing a used interior element, such as a rear ashtray with a storage compartment and socket, it is crucial to check compatibility with the manufacturer's markings and the configuration of the specific car model. It is worth paying attention to the console type, equipment version, and placement on the vehicle to ensure full compatibility with factory mounts.
