My storage tray and door pockets arrived today, finally... 2-weeks overdue.

I will try to install them tomorrow and maybe take a pic or two.

Got mine...

I got mine already from eBay. Here's the original link:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Central-Tra...72.m2749.l2649

Bought it 11/26/19; received on 12/17/19. Fits real good. I do know that to lift it up, it's a bit of a pain (not too much) because you have to grab the elevated middle plastic divider and pull up. If you have your USB cord going thru the intended whole, it will obstruct the lifting on the unit somewhat.

Here's the item placed where it goes:




And for those seeking inside handle buckets, here's mine and the link to where I got them:

Here is the console tray (for 2-USB 2016 model)... Well made and fits perfectly...



And the Door Pocket. Nice, sturdy fit. I wasn't sure if I would like the Black color, but they fit in well with the other (black) door fixtures...

Nice!! I like the contrast of the handle buckets with the light interior. Congrats.

Are the USB ports obscured by the console tray?

Well, of course the USB ports are below the tray. I have USB Music storage plugged into the ports, so I don't need frequent access to them. However, if you want to plug a USB cable into the lower port for Android Auto (if equipped), the cable is easily routed through the provided slot in the tray (RT side in picture) to plug into your smart phone. (See picture in post below)

Finally got around to installing mine as well. I ordered mine through AliExpress.
This is the 2016 2-usb version.
​​It fits perfectly. It's not tight - I would say just shy of snug so I didn't have the need to install a loop to pull it up.
The door pockets on the other hand, although snug, they do not secure enough for my taste. I'm considering applying some type of tape or adhesive to keep them from sliding out

Did you order for all 4 doors if you have a sedan? Note my post above if so.. I had the fronts/rears revered at first which caused the fitment to not be great, especially in the front. Reversing as everything now nice and tight.

Yes, that tray is fiddly to remove once in place.

For now, I decided not to drill the center divider to install a ziptie pull ring. Instead, I've installed a tab of Black Gaffer's tape at the balance point of the tray. It will not come loose easily, and can be folded over to lay against the divider when not needed. Works very well.

Bringing this back from the dead a bit. Thanks to those who posted images and so on. I ordered the console organizer and door handle pockets. The organizer is coming from S. Korea, so tracking should be, uhmm, interesting. The door handle pockets arrived already! I'm really happy somebody makes these because the door handle was my go-to place for sunglass storage in my last car and I'm a creature of habit. The pockets I got have a cute little rubber pad that goes in the bottom.

Yep, the door handle pockets are very useful. Also keeps finger oils from staining the beige interior.

They do fit tightly, though, which is good. But I wonder what indents they will make in the upholstery around the pouckets over time.

Gotta accept one thing to get another, I guess.

Interestingly there is a wireless phone charging option, but not available for E class. Nevertheless a great organizer.

yep, I got the same tray and door handle pocket inserts. Very useful. In addition, for your sunglasses, you should get this sunglasses holder. It installs in place of the handle above the drivers door. All you need to do is remove the handle and then install this holder. I love it and my glasses are in it all of the time when not in use.

Neat idea. But I actually use the driver assist handle, to avoid tugging on the steering wheel when exiting the vehicle. (There's that small plastic part in the wheel that can break.)

It's also on order, from ECS.

I originally saw it in one of Doug DeMuro's videos about his E63 AMG wagon, and was disappointed to find that my car had a grab handle instead. So I went searching and found it at ECS. I found it on eBay too, but went with ECS in the hopes of avoiding interminable shipping times from overseas. Even ECS quotes a 5 day lead time prior to shipping though. So I guess I'll see.

Yeah, if you utilize the handle then no point installing this holder. But, you can also install the sunglass holder on the passenger side, if you wanted to 😀
