I have always just ignored it, but now for some reason I am curious. What is that big box in the bottom portion of our center armrest? Any remove it? Would be nice to have that extra space.

jturkel

so........the question finally comes out.........and i too wonder the same thing and have been for 6 yrs. wtf is that? haha

pointman

It looks like it is for phone connectivity? But I don't think anyone still using a StarTac. But I don't want to go ripping it out, and have to come back afterwards and ask for help to fix my self ownage.

I didnt have it on my C230. Instead I had a big cooler thing to put cold drinks and a sub sandwhich. When i got the C32 i always thought i got dicked over bc my C230 had this (what MBUSA called a cooler) storage compartment.

I guess they called it a cooler bc here in South Florida , the ac is on all the time. Therefore it kept everything cold.

jturkel

funny you mention this. i do have a couple things in there. and whenever i open it up and grab something out of there, it is definitely colder to the touch. weird......i thought it had something to do with being right near the rear AC unit, but maybe im just an idiot?

Well, this box takes up more than half the space and seems to be pretty much useless.

i am removing mine...and planning to do a custom carbon fiber cover...should look good.

jturkel

let us know whats down there or what that box is for when you remove it and figure it out lol

looks like it holds the fan /blower for the rear a/c...my deduction after 5 days of ownership

Not possible. Find a buddy with a regular c class and compare. Ive compated three from 03, 04 & 05 Their storage compartment is a big empty champer large enough to swallow a 20oz bottle of coke. Our compartment is enough for some paperwork. The AMGs got a low blow in that deal.

i figure i will use it to hide switches for the neons, and whatever else i can find...maybe my high power 40cal.

Any comparison pics? I know the C55's isn't big enough to hold a 20oz coke...but it ain't small either.

its definitely a fan/blower for the rear ac.. i had a c240 with rear ac but it can only be controlled from the front ac unit with no speeds.. the center gets cold cus the air passes thru there.. the rear ac for the c32 can be controlled from the rear, can be turned on and off and has speeds which is what the fan is for.. DOING..!

hammertime21

its for the rear blower motor.

I thought that crap was for my grandpap style motorla cell guess is the rear ac blower

Screw the backseat passengers. They should have called shotgun sooner.

my kimber custom .45 with a 3 1/2" barrel sits locked and loaded in my glove box at all times (state of washington CCP)

jturkel

strongly considering getting a permit.

CCP= Certified Computer Professional ?
or CCW?

What do you need a gun in the state of washington for?
When some homeless guy robs you of your latte?

jturkel

i think he meant CCW....at least, thats what I was referring to..

moosejaw

CCP illustrated here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conceal..._United_States
CCP= Carry Concealed Permit

Different terms for different states, even liberal ones

Any one that DOES NOT WANT the parts and componets to the REAR A/C FAN...would you consider unloading the parts to me?
