Where is the fuse box on a R171 SLK?

[John77]

Hi I am fitting a reversing camera to my wife's car and wanted to know where the fuse box is inside the car so that I can power the screen. I know where the box is under the bonnet, but normally there is also one near the dashboard. Any ideas?

Thank you. I did actually look in that area first, as my EClass fuse box is there, but the shape of the cover put me off opening it.

In end of the dashboard - pax side (UK car)
You need the door open then prise open the cover at the end of the dash

Thank you. The drivers side is empty and the passenger side has an airbag warning sign on it. So I take it that it is not a problem to open it?
