12V supply

Does anyone know if there's a 12 V supply somewhere in the car?
I'd like to plug in my radar detector.

Thanks, but I just looked, even with a flash light, and couldn't find it. Put my hand around the whole area and didn't feel anything.
Wondering if MB changed the design because my car doesn't have the horizonal air intake under the hood that some yotubers have shown.

Thanks for the pic.
I think they changed the design. Looks like in your car, the outlet is at the left, next to carpet. In my car, just a solid piece of plastic. Or I may be looking at the wrong location?

I'm in Arizona.
The car was manufactured in Oct 2021. When was your car made?
Also, I see that yours is 580 whereas mine is 480. Maybe the less expensive model is not allowed to have this convenience :-)
