C43 Rear Trim Piece On Seats?

I could not find any information on what that white trim piece is on the back of the driver and passenger seat.

Does anyone know what it's for?

It could be just decorative.

If it has no purpose than they put it as decor.

It’s not my car. Looking to buy and saw this but it’s not on all C43s. It must be some kind of accessory.

This is the air outlet for the seat back on a car with factory seat cooling. Probably not included on cars with alcantara seating surfaces.

ok that makes sense. This car does have the ventilated seats option. It’s a bit odd that they did not make it blend in by making it black.

That is odd. Mine are black to match the seats. Maybe someone thought they were being creative? That is not factory.

Ok so aftermarket mod. I thought it was some kind of accessory. LOL.

I'm in the market and just started looking....

I'm using LastVin to verify options.

It's crazy people what people are paying. Many cars don't have dynamic headlights or ventilated seats.

Not that static headlights are a dealbreaker but in this market, I'm going to hold out for them.

The best prices for C43 I've seen are 24-38,000 miles for 37 to 41K but not many. One dealer wanted 47K. with tax etc it's 50K with 28k miles for a 2016 C450!

It does have all options except ventilated seats. It's CPO but the driver seat is worn. I told the sales guy. You might want to fix that seat.

My 2009 C350 has 143,000 miles and was CPO. I had to have the dealer replace two rear tire because they missed them during cert process. So it's hit or miss.

I definitely want to upgrade but not sure what I'm going to do yet...

I have ventilated seats. Don’t know why, I can’t feel anything. There is nothing on the seat back. Except what looks like a pocket, which isn’t a pocket.
