What's in the box under the center armrest of my '02 C32?

Under the center armrest of my '02 C32, there's a black cover with some sticker on it saying don't put anything on top of it or something of that nature. My '01 C320 didn't have it and it takes up a lot of usable space inside the center armrest. Anybody know what it is and hopefully explain why the C320's didn't have it?

The blower for the rear passengers. You will notice that where the console meets the carpet there are intakes on either side just about where your elbow is when you drive.

Yup - it takes up space for sure.

thanks Miroj!

Makes sense but did the '02s come with a different design? I know that my '01 c320 had rear vents too but maybe the fan was placed elsewhere.

The blower is a power assisted fan. If the blower isnt there the air will still go to the rear but a lot weaker. Since the blower assisted console has vents in the bottom to suck air in. Then if it is removed it will leak air out.

Time to start using the small mesh net on the side of the transmission tunnel and the space in the doors.
