Is this a cig lighter port?

New to the W212. This looks like a cig lighter port/phone charger with a blank in it, but I can't remove the blank. Is this possible something else? The middle part seems like you should be able to push it in but it may be stuck, and I don't want to pry on it too hard as to avoid breaking anything. Thanks

Yes, if your car has the smoker option kit that will be the cig lighter and with 1 more at the rear , which is the end of the center console near the AC vent for rear passenger.
Dang. I did not know there is any option to blank it, how do u get 12V power for ur phone charger then ?

upgraded port ?


Havana option
It looks like an aftermarket upgrade to Cuban class.
You can replace it with a stubby 5V/USB little guy instead. ✌️

There is another port facing the rear seats in the center console.

That chrome piece is where you're supposed to place your cigarette when its not in your hand. The flat holes is where you kill the cigarette once done

Also just use a trim pulling piece and take the cig port out. Its just stuck. Happened to my car as well when i first got it.
