It gets rid of the ashtray and adds a 12V, 12a plug and gets rid of the lighter as well. Its OEM but i dont think it was offered for US spec cars.

the only thing not quite working is the passenger side air direction circular knob. the driver side controls both the passenger and drivers air direction. no biggie, everything else is fine

the climatronic i got off ebay, got it for $120 shipped. i couldn't find the ashtray delete anywhere, so contacted Steve from MBenzNL and had it shipped for 80 euro. kind of steep but it was mainly shipping coming from netherlands to cali.
