New C300 Question

Just got my new C300 with a great trade in on my 2019 A220. Only issue so far is the cup holder on the back seat arm rest. The dealer had to beat on it to get it to pop out. What a lousy design. The first position won't hold a phone. No one at the dealer is sure what it is for. Very poor design.
Also looking to hardwire my radar detector. There is no fuse map in the car. Does anyone have a clue how to find a description of the fuses? Thanks for any help.

For the rear cupholder push once for the iPad holder, push again for the cupholder.

Got that, but it wasn't working! It was stuck. The service guy had to beat on it to "wake it up". Even when it works it's a terrible design. The "phone holder" doesn't hold anyone's phone and the cupholder is difficult to pop out. Good grief.

Fuse diagrams in past MB models have been on folded paper inside an interior fuse box.

Thanks. I checked all of the fuse boxes. 4 total and nothing. On my A220 it was in the fuse box under the hood. Just wondering if anyone has found one on a C300.
