USB plug for rear seats in CL500
Fed up with running power leads from front cigar lighter to children’s telephones in the back seats. Usually give them Power banks but a bit of a faff.
Always wondered why there isn’t a USB socket tucked away or in the arm rest. (Think I was quoted £75 many years ago to rig up a wire through the boot).
Can’t quite believe how lacking in any independent controls (air-con etc) the rear is

Hello mayfairw1,
you may have power output (cigar lighter) on right side in the trunk. Through the ski hatch passage, it can be a easy way to bring a power cable back into the rear center console.
