Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented item is designed for installation in the rear part of the centre console, in the rear passenger zone. It is responsible for distributing air from the air conditioning system to the rear of the cabin, while the integrated tray allows for storing small items such as a phone or keys. The built-in USB socket provides convenient charging for devices, which significantly increases travel comfort for passengers sitting in the back.

Construction and key features

The design of the Mercedes A238 C238 Centre Console Rear Air Vent Tray USB Socket has been engineered according to the manufacturer's standards to fit perfectly into the centre console line in cabrio and coupe models. The element integrates the following in one housing:

• an air vent duct directed towards the rear of the cabin,
• a practical tray for small accessories,
• a USB socket for powering mobile devices.

Thanks to the factory design, stylistic consistency with other interior elements is maintained, and installation in the designated spot does not require interference with the console structure.

Benefits of using an original component

Using the original rear air vent with a tray and USB in a Mercedes brings a number of practical benefits. Firstly, it ensures proper air distribution in the rear of the cabin, which improves the thermal comfort of passengers. Secondly, the integrated USB socket eliminates the need for additional adapters and cables routed from the front of the vehicle. Thirdly, the tray helps keep the rear seat area tidy, reducing the risk of small items moving around while driving. This solution will be especially appreciated by users who frequently travel with rear passengers or use the car for family trips.

Condition, fitment, and installation

The item is a removed part intended for reinstallation in the appropriate Mercedes model. Thanks to its factory origin, the correct mounting points and compatibility with the original air ducts and the centre console electrical system are maintained. When correctly selected for the specific body version, the installation is similar to a plug&play solution, which reduces the time required for replacement and minimizes the risk of fitment issues.
