12V sockets

[fsboost]

Hey, I'm trying to find a second 12V socket in my 2018 c350e. I know one is in the centre console but there's usually another one behind the centre console, in front of the rear seats. Any ideas where it could be?

Hello and welcome

Sometimes there is a little flap (like a ashtray from back in the day) on the back of the centre console

Sometimes it is noted in the owners manual.

In my 2011 E350 there are three12V sockets. Front ashtray, glovebox , & rear ashtray.

Possible not one in the rear. The manual may suggest there is one but it is very model specific. There isn’t one in my 2018 GLC, for example, which is basically the same inside as the C Class, I do have a second one in the boot though

My ml front ashtray, console between seats for rear and in boot.

Nope, I've looked everywhere. NOT EVEN THE BOOT! So much for a £42,000 car

Is there a flap one needs to push in to expose the 12V? My S Class has the centre console rear ashtray cubby fitted with a fold down unit with two 12V sockets, but unless it’s pressed in to un click the push-push, there’s nothing to be seen.

My CL500 only had the one 12V socket however, and that was an £82,000 car, so you’re not alone

I'll take another good look... Even my A-Class has 2 sockets. Personally, it's something that should come as standard for such a new car.

A 12V socket costs about 2.3€ to the factory. Valuable spec & feature deletion for the cost reduction team if they can get it. I don’t blame them!

Have you got a spare usb socket as you can get a 12v socket to usb

I use an Anker 5 x USB power bank plugged into one 12V socket; that lives inside the centre console armrest and so serves front and rear seats.

Optional extra perhaps you tight wad!
