Purpose and Function in the Center Console

This item is part of the Console Parts group and is designed as a rear ashtray with storage, mounted in the center tunnel. Its placement in the rear cabin area provides passengers with access to additional space for small items and an organized ashtray area, without interfering with the front of the cockpit.

This type of solution helps maintain order in the cabin, reduce dirt in other interior areas, and preserve the consistent, factory layout of the center console elements.

Design and Fit for Mercedes W213 Interior

The ashtray with storage is finished in black, which facilitates integration with most interior configurations used in the Mercedes W213. The neutral color blends well with both light and dark upholstery, as well as decorative trims in various stylistic variants.

The factory mounting geometry and front shape ensure proper fitment with the rear of the center console, without the need for modifications or adaptations. This makes installation predictable, and the component, once installed, forms a seamless surface with the other tunnel components.

Condition, Origin, and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

The offered item is an original Mercedes brand component in used condition. In practice, this means preserving the factory quality of workmanship, dimensional accuracy, and compatibility with the center console structure in the W213. For many users, this is a sensible compromise between cost and quality, especially for repairs and supplementing missing interior modules.

Choosing a tested used part allows for cost savings compared to new components, while maintaining the original appearance and functionality. More on how to safely use salvaged components and optimize service costs is explained in the article Car Parts – New or Used? Comparing Costs, Quality, and Durability.

Installation and Technical Aspects of Use

The rear center console ashtray storage compartment is intended for installation in the rear part of the tunnel, in the location designated by the manufacturer. The modular design facilitates the removal of the old element and the installation of the new one, while preserving the existing wiring harness and other console components (if present).

When replacing, pay attention to:

• correct seating of clips and guides in the tunnel structure,
• even pressing of the front to avoid looseness and creaks while driving,
• checking the smooth opening and closing of the storage compartment lid.
