Great, thank you. Just ordered. Is there a separate part number for the console lid? I have the 2017 E300 Luxury model with Nappa brown interior. Any way to get the part number for this steering wheel with Distronic and the new column without Distronic. The column would also have the steering wheel up/down control. Also new style LED vents from the coupe?

Coming from a S205 with the open pore black ash center console I also wanted it in my E.
A few months ago the E-Coupé arrived and the problem was solved, I ordered a panel immidiately and it arrived today.
Here is how you do it
Tools needed, small flat head screwdriver and a Torx 20 screwdriver
Remove the rubber grommets hiding the two screws, remove them and pull the armrest locking mechanism backwards.
Remove the two exposed screws, then lift and fold the panel upwards
Unplug the black and the white connectors below
Now pull the panel slightly down and backwards from its top fitting, lift the entire panel and place it to the side on your lap.
Disconnect the connectors to the 12V socket, media panel, AC-panel, keyless antenna module, analog clock and the two LED-modules for the ambient lighting, they just snap right out.
Now remove all the stuff from the old panel, touch pad module, ashtray compartment, media panel and the AC-panel
The touch pad is fastened with four screws, the ashtray compartment with just two, they are easy to spot and remove.
The AC and media panels are just snapped into place, use the flat head screw driver to bend the tabs holding the units, then remove the units from the back.
The lid to the ashtray compartment is just slid onto place, pull it firmly backwards and it snaps off.
Assemble in reverse order and it should look something like this, note the Mercedes-Benz microfibre cloth

Part number for this specific panel is A238 680 15 03, that is open pore black ash with ambient illumination,
they should exist in all the other different finishes, however I am not sure of this, remember that panels without ambient illumination, analog clock and so on has different part numbers.
