Center console illumination at night

Hi!

The Mercedes E-Class and BMW 3-Series have some kind of led that lights up the center console at night. I think that in the E-Class the light is located on the bottom of the rearview mirror.

Is there any option for the C-Class to have this?
A friend of mine said it saw one that had this feature and that the console was illuminated in blue color.

What about the ash tray? Is that illuminated in the c-coupe? I know it may sound trivial, but it is an important detail for those of us who smoke.

Yes, the ashtray is well lit. The light around the cig. lighter stays on as well so you can always find it at night (I'm an ex-smoker).

I also removed the ashtray, and replaced it with an electronic gadget compass/inside thermometer thingy I got from Sharper Image a few years ago. The remainin area is also large enough to accommodate a tin of Nuttall's Mints {Altoids} and a comb.

I completely agree. I was surprised to find there was no compass. The Neon I was renting had one. I think the base Focus I was renting before the Neon had a compass.
