Purpose and function in the front console

The presented component has been developed for installation in the front part of the cabin, within the central console area. Integrating the ashtray, storage compartment, and 12V socket into a single module helps organize the space and reduces the number of separate accessories in the cockpit. This solution facilitates the use of power for chargers, navigation systems, or other devices, while simultaneously providing space for small items.

The black color of the surface contributes to a consistent interior look, while the aluminium front finish gives the whole unit a more modern, understated character. As a result, the module blends well with both classic and more dynamic equipment configurations.

Construction and ergonomics of use

The design combines several functions in one housing, which improves ergonomics during daily operation. The module is positioned within reach of the driver and front passenger, facilitating quick access to the 12V socket and the contents of the storage compartment. The layout of the elements has been designed to minimize the need to take your eyes off the road.

The combination of a black surface with an aluminium front promotes readability and ease of cleaning. This type of finish is resistant to typical signs of wear while not excessively distracting from other cockpit elements.

Benefits of using an original component

Using an original module from the Console parts group allows you to maintain factory fitment and the installation method intended by the manufacturer. This reduces the risk of improper seating, rattling, or looseness while driving. Proper alignment with the console shape also facilitates future removal and potential replacement.

A used component is a sensible choice for users who want to restore the full functionality of the front interior without the need to invest in a new part. Maintaining the original styling and construction helps preserve a consistent cabin appearance and improves daily comfort.

Application in service and interior modernization

The ashtray, storage, and 12V socket module is suitable for both standard replacement of a worn-out part and for refreshing the vehicle's interior. It can be used during post-accident repairs, center console restoration, or when organizing accessory power installations. By maintaining the factory form, it provides a convenient solution for workshops specializing in the brand and for users who care about equipment consistency.

Additional information and support for selection
