No amount of googling seems to turn up an answer to this question, so I'm hoping some kind soul here can help.
I've just bought a W213 E220d, and I'm trying to find one of the fuseboxes. I can find the one that contains fuses number 301-341 in the passenger footwell. I can find the one in the boot (trunk) that's got fuses 400-484. The one I CANNOT find is the one "on the driver's side of the dashboard" that apparently contains fuses 200-220. Can anyone who knows where this is try to describe it to me, or even better, send a photo? I'm in the UK, so steering from the right-hand seat, but a left-handed description would be fine, because I can look in a mirror!
[My reason for looking for this is to consider whether it might be the best place to find power for a dash cam...]
Thank you to everyone who's tried to help - much appreciated.
Unfortunately, I still can't find the specific fusebox I'm looking for, which is the one in my W213 2017 E class holding fuses numbered 200-220 and which is supposed (according to the documentation) to be "on the driver's side of the dashboard". No amount of searching turns up any sort of door or flap anywhere around here (picture below - my car is right hand drive), so I wonder if anyone with this specific vehicle knows where this particular fusebox might be?
[Just for clarity - I've found the PASSENGER'S fusebox, and the one in the TRUNK, it's the one on the DRIVER'S side that I need to find. I've looked on both sides too - although the document again says that this fusebox should be on the RIGHT hand side in right hand drive cars. A picture of the fusebox holding fuses 200-220 would be much appreciated! :-)]
Then i would take it to the nearest dealers , its not that old you should have a manual or hand book to find all this out .Still say that side comes off .
Thanks optimusprime m1. Looking at it again, I think you might be right :-((. My previous car (Volvo V70) had fuses in just this location, and had a nice little door with a catch. I wasn't expecting to have to take the tyre levers to it! As you say, the manual SHOULD explain this, but in fact all it says is "driver's side of dashboard" with no diagrams or anything more. Hence my plea to "those in the know".

Hey. Did you locate it? I'm in a similar situation as you. Thanks

Well, I didn’t actually remove the trim piece between the dash and the drivers door (in my photo) because I ended up doing a different solution. But I did become convinced that that’s where those fuses are, and I’m sure anyone with enough confidence would just whip that bit of trim out with a suitable lever. If I ever do need access to those fuses that’s what I’ll do.
Still don’t understand why there wouldn’t be a door there like there is on the other fuse boxes in the vehicle, and as there was in that very location on my Volvo V70.

What was your solution, if you dont mind me asking?
The panel pops off with the use of a plastic wedge. Pry the panel from the front most edge where spring clips are located. The edges nearest the door jamb have fixed tabs. There is a fuse diagram (located in the trunk) posted elsewhere on this forum.

I took power from a fuse in the fusebox located in the passenger footwell (which has a little door). I could only find "always on" power there, but that was OK because the webcam I'm using is fine with that (it shuts down by itself after a few hours.)

Hi, I have used that place for the cam, as I specifically wanted to have the cam on 24/7, but now have to move it to an ignition on/off one, as the battery does not like the cam sucking on all the time......
And I drive every day (not weekdays).

Actually, I found the same thing too after a while. I swapped to using an ignition dependant feed from the back of the car.
