SEO-Optimised Product Summary
This is a Mercedes-Benz centre console storage / ashtray assembly with integrated 12V accessory socket, part number A2046801350. It is fitted in the front centre console and provides the storage compartment / ashtray housing together with the 12V power-outlet position shown in the reference photographs.
It is particularly useful when the original centre-console insert is cracked, damaged, missing, loose, has broken mounting tabs, has a damaged sliding cover, or has a worn / damaged 12V socket housing. A correctly matched replacement restores the original console layout, mounting geometry, trim appearance and connector location without forcing an incorrect W203/W204 or different-generation part into the vehicle.

What This Part Does
The component is mounted in the front centre console. It provides the original console storage / ashtray cavity and houses the integrated 12V accessory power outlet position. It is a trim-and-function component rather than an electronic control module, so a damaged housing does not automatically mean the vehicle has an electrical fault.
Common Symptoms of a Damaged / Worn Assembly
- Cracked, broken or missing centre-console storage / ashtray assembly
- Sliding lid or cover not travelling correctly
- Broken mounting clips / tabs causing the assembly to move or rattle
- Visible damage around the 12V socket aperture
- Loose socket housing after previous damage or incorrect removal
- Interior trim no longer sitting flush with the surrounding console
Why Match the Correct Manufacturer Part?
A low-cost copy can look similar while using different plastics, clip locations, mould tolerances, trim dimensions or socket openings. A correctly matched original manufacturer assembly is designed around the vehicle's factory console geometry, which can help reduce rattles, gaps, forced fitment and repeat trim removal. The main benefit of a used original part is often correct geometry at a substantially lower cost than buying the same component new.
Used parts can save customers as much as 70% compared with buying a comparable new component, depending on the vehicle and part.
Installation Guide — Centre Console Assembly
Estimated fitting time: approximately 0.5–1.0 hour for an experienced technician, depending on trim level, tools, condition of the existing clips and access. This is an estimate rather than a guaranteed labour time.
Typical tools: plastic trim-removal levers, small flat-blade screwdriver or pick, Torx driver set, small ratchet / extension where required, torch, clean cloth and a non-marring pry tool.
- Switch the ignition off and remove the key. Allow any electrical accessories to power down.
- Protect the surrounding trim with a clean cloth.
- Use non-marring trim tools to release the centre-console trim and gain access to the assembly fixings.
- Release the retaining clips / fasteners and remove the old assembly without forcing the surrounding trim.
- Transfer any required original socket components only where the replacement configuration requires it and where the connector is an exact match.
- Compare the replacement part to the removed part before final fitment — shape, finish, mounting tabs, socket position and connector location should correspond.
- Refit the assembly, seat all clips correctly and test the sliding mechanism and 12V outlet function.

Returns & Fitment Protection
Please do not order on the basis of year alone. We publish detailed compatibility information and can verify fitment. eBay's current rules do not allow a blanket restocking fee to be charged simply because a buyer ordered the wrong part. Where eBay seller protections apply, deductions can be available when a returned item has lost value because it has been used, altered or damaged; the amount depends on the condition and eBay's rules.
