12V Outlets

I finally located the 12V outlet in the front of my car. It was located under the passenger foot well almost to the firewall. Pretty good hiding place! You almost need to be a contortionist to plug anything in to it! No such adventure for the rear 12V outlet in the cargo area on the side of the right-hand pillar.

You need the 12V outlet for a RADAR Detector? In my AMG Wagon turned on my detector as soon as I left the Garage. It didn't help when NM Trooper pulled me over at 110mph just South of Spaceport America near Border Patrol Checkpoint...fortunately the officer was an Air Force Veteran and let me off after seeing my Air Force Veteran Cap in Passenger seat!

Can you snap a picture of that 12V Location near footwell? Otherwise will check it out in Athens or Duluth dealership soon.

I needed the 12V outlet for my tire air compressor! The outlet location was already called out in the manual which I later read.

Needing to plug in the air compressor was exactly why I looked for and found the same outlet - after I read the manual.

If I was going to need it on a regular basis, I would connect a small 12V extension cord and tuck it in under the center console. I have one in my parts drawer from historic vehicles. You would think that MB could improve the location!

Different model but same issue, New GLC300. At first I couldn't locate the 12v outlet in the cargo area. Was always looking for it in the dark. Then I didn't know about the one in a pass footwell until a kind soul on the GLC forum mentioned it. I inserted a dual outlet USB-A plug so I could use my cheap dash cam which sits on a sticky pad on the dash above the glove box.
