There is a long narrow piece of plastic with a an elastic strap in the arm rest cubby. My salesman says it's for a cell phone but I don't know of any phone that would fit in there. Looks like it would be for a remote but he said there is no remote for the car (don't know why there would be but that's what it looks like) Is he right? Is there some other purpose for this? Any info would be great!

Thanks,

Rob

If it's the same as I have, then I think its some sort of fixture (with a flipping cover) for the optional phone module. Check illustration 16 (for S Coupé) by following the link to the parts database below. Mine is part 120.

Mine has no flip cover. I'll try and take a picture soon so you can see. It's a similar spot but doesn't look like the schematic.

So finally had time to take a picture. Here is what I'm talking about. I don't know about anyone else but I know my smart phone won't fit in that. Any idea what it's for?

"Old" 4" iPhones etc fit there fine, remember this was designed before 2014

Ok, I see. Mine looks quite different. In the compartment it's a connector for the phone module and then I have the loose thing with the lid that I assume should be mounted when the phone module or a "charging station" for your specific phone is inserted.

Interesting. I do not have it. I do not think I would use it if I did have it

Christian,

Is yours a S63 sedan or S63 Coupe?

Christian K

It's a 2015 Coupé Edition 1 delivered in November last year. Maybe it could differ slightly between European (mine is from Sweden) and US-cars!?

fulmitz

That's gotta be the difference. I'm in New Orleans, Louisiana!

My sedan has the same thing in the centre arm rest. Car came with a remote control strapped in there. I'll snap a picture tomorrow.

It's for the SAP Module. At least for me it is. I retrofitted the SAP Module inside of it. Heres an image ; http://s29.postimg.org/dtqv01c53/DSC06674.jpg

What is an SAP module?

UrBusted

Its a telephone module with bluetooth, you can put a sim card inside of it and I guess use it for wifi.

fulmitz

That must be for the eurpoean module as there are no electronics mine is literally just a plastic back with an elastic strap.

UrBusted

It doesn't normally come with it, I retrofitted it. It comes with a special package where I guess they changed the location. http://www.la.mercedes-benz.com/cont...43_07-2013.jpg

Sorry, slipped my mind. Here's a pic. It doesn't seem to have any connectors hidden behind the elastic strap, don't think it can be used to power anything, at least for US/Cdn market vehicles.

Canadian-spec S550 sedan. No rear entertainment pkg.

S63C4

I put the passenger's (splitview) remote there. Fits perfectly. The headphones are stuffed in the rear armrest. There really isn't much storage space in this car.

fulmitz

I knew it was for a remote. They told me one didn't come with my care, must be for if you get splitview.

yamanote

I don't have Splitview either for what that's worth. I was surprised to see the remote in the console when I took delivery.

fulmitz

Yamanote, Yours is a sedan, no? Maybe it comes with sedans. I know it wasnt' in my coupe.

yamanote

Correct. Perhaps only included with sedans. The holder there is definitely for a remote though.
