What's this under the glove box?

It's a 2020 C300 CPO car with factory warranty. Just got it from the Mercedes dealership. The service advisor didn't know it. Is it a after market USB port? Tracker won't be that obvious?

That's a 12V socket and the previous owner left their 12V USB charger in there. Just pull out the USB charger and you'll see it's a regular 12V socket. I have my radar detector plugged in there when in use.

Shouldn't be screwed on or anything. Just have to pull it out. Here's an example of a radar detector adapter plugged in. Not mine, but similar to mine. You can certainly leave it there, too and use it if it works.

I see what you're saying, you mean the white part is the usb charger, if I take it out, it's a 12v adapter.
