C250 CGI
Center Console Port

Hi Guys,

I just bought a 2011 W204 C250 CGI in Australia and still getting to know it after driving a CLK320 W208 for the last 7 years.

One of the things that puzzles me is this charging or phone port in the center console under the arm-rest and I' m not sure what it is used for.

Can you please shed some light on this, as I couldn't find anything on Google that gives me any clues. Thanks

I'm not sure what that is but do you have the owner's manual? It may be available from Mercedes as a PDF.

Yeah, nothing in the owners manual about it.

What do you mean by USB Key? It doesn't look like a standard USB port, it looks like some sort of a phone connection or something.

If you have COMAND, then you can play mp3s from there, or copy them to the music register.
