Purpose and function of the component

The described insert is part of the Console Parts group and is intended for installation in the rear zone of the centre console in Mercedes C-Class C238 models.

The ashtray insert is finished in black, making it easy to match with typical Mercedes interior colour configurations. The neutral colour blends well with plastic elements, trim pieces, and upholstery, ensuring the overall look remains consistent and understated.

The construction is prepared for installation in the rear of the console, with appropriately shaped mounts and a dedicated space for the socket. As a result, the component works with factory guides and housing, which promotes stable seating and reduces the risk of unwanted play during operation.
