Purpose and function in the cockpit

The presented ashtray with a cigarette lighter socket has been designed as an integral part of the front console in Mercedes CL203 and W203 series vehicles. Its placement in the front dashboard area ensures easy access for the driver and passenger to the power socket and the closable storage compartment for ash or small items. The design is intended to work with the factory electrical installation, allowing for the preservation of original functionality without any additional modifications.

Construction and ergonomics of use

The element combines an ashtray module and a cigarette lighter socket in a single housing, keeping the console area organized and clear. The ashtray lid operates in a controlled manner, which facilitates handling while driving and reduces the risk of accidental opening. The cigarette lighter socket is positioned so that charger plugs and adapters do not interfere with other dashboard elements, which improves daily comfort of use.

Benefits of using an original Mercedes component

Using the original ashtray module with a cigarette lighter socket allows for maintaining factory fitment with other console components. Proper alignment of dimensions and mounting points translates into:

• stable installation without play or unwanted noises while driving,
• correct routing of electrical wiring,
• consistent appearance of the dashboard surfaces and lines.

For the user, this means maintaining the original functionality and aesthetics of the interior, without the compromises typical of non-factory solutions. In the case of replacing a damaged module, this is a practical way to restore full utility to the front part of the cockpit.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered product is a used part, sourced from the dismantling of a Mercedes vehicle. Such components are often chosen for interior repairs because they retain their original geometry, mechanism operation, and compatibility with the factory wiring harness. In practice, this facilitates installation and reduces the risk of fitment issues typical of non-original replacements.
