W213 rear vent

![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
This rear vent seems to be way too simple for a e class (no separate controls for heat/climate, or seat heating option available at all)... no USB either!! so i want to know what you did with this area...
I checked some creative stuff online, and there is a trim piece (cheap) that looks like a burmester speaker trim, but i do not want to fake it!
there were some vents that were available that color change with your interior ambient lighting (not sure if this will invalidate the warranty).. also not sure if these are easy to fix...
I would like to hear what you did with this? any creative way of using the 12v plug - so that it doesn't much alter the looks etc... thanks!!
I'd also love to hear, if there are any good compatible seat covers that can heat up the rear seats.... and any pull up blinds manual/electric (mine is a P3 i guess comes with roller blinds but i do not see it in the central control)

I added a discreet 9v dual USB charger that allows the flap to close and also had rear heated seats controls placed on each side of the rear vents. The option of a 3rd zone climate control unit is rare on non-special order builds but it does look classy.

I have the 3 zone climate control option on my E300 - I agree with CarFan, it looks a lot nicer and includes additional vents on the door post between the two doors, so better air flow and ventilation. I don't have it on my wagon and I wish I did.
