Air Balance retrofit
Hi, anyone done it? Have you bought the part OEM or the one from this thread? https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...r-ionizer.html Is the ionizer included in the fragrance kit?

Btw if you need OEM part numbers I can provide you with it, I want to install it in my coupe. I have never seen this replica kit from china before

130 is replaceable fragrance atomizer
110 - you don't need it
190- fragrance testers set
Here is what you need for setup
170 - A2228900087
180 - A0019845729 x2
100 - A2228900100
150 - A2388000500
160 - A0029957277
10 - A2058350600
You will also need some wiring, but MB doesn't sell it, and only dealers have it, and some workshops who do Mercedes retrofit. This is not a big problem if a person who installs this kit knows how to do it and has manual for it.

Why anyone would want to install the freshener as a retrofit given that it eats 30% of the glove compartment (it was standard on my 43) is beyond comprehension. I would gladly give mine away! Furthermore, the "fragrances" stink!

I'm mostly interested in the ionizer, that actually is a beneficial technology.

I recommend you experience current air balance functionality in a car before undertaking the time and expense to add it (If you haven't already...) It is so subtle and unreliable (it turns itself off constantly) - I'd pay to have it taken out of my GLE in order to reclaim the glove box space.

I have the Audi equivalent and while it's nice to have I don't think I'll be adding it to the Merc.

i only have it because (at the time) you could only have air suspension on UK models if it was combined with this option. Fragrances are OK but i soon discovered that my throat was always dry and i had had a cough after a long drive until i switched it off.... As per other comments its just takes up 1/3rd of my glovebox and doesn't add any value to my day
