I have the MB charger and cable to plug into the small port in the trunk (driver's side) but I am missing the small plug that sticks out and I need that to connect the MB cable. Anyone know the part number by chance of that little plug that protrudes from the port? I have attached pics of it, as well as what my port looks like without it.
Well, I'll leave this post up in case it happens to someone else, but I solved the mystery. The missing piece was indeed there and not missing ... it just got pushed in and was sitting flush (that is what you see in the second pic). Of course, when I went to grab it, it fell inside the trunk and completely out of sight. Which gave me the opportunity to take the rear corner of the trunk apart to retrieve it and pull it through the hole. Good times! In actuality, the trunk disassembly wasn't bad ... took about 15 minutes.

Thanks in advance for any help, I appreciate it.
WOW, I never even knew I had this option in the car till I saw your post. I would just connect the trickle charger under the hood. Is there a difference in charging it this way compared through the front?
Hi Jekyl, the owner's manual calls out that the car was made to be charged from the driver's side trunk port but I am unsure if it is any different than connecting to the battery in the front. Probably the same result but the trunk system is super slick and I use it every day to keep the battery in peak condition.

Marbenne, could you post up a pic of the inside of the plug connector, on the side that connects to the trickle charger? Trying to see if it'll mate up with the CTEK Lithium US charger I have: https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...2624b99f24.jpg

So I took a chance and ordered the cord to see if it would mate up to the CTEK charger I had purchased (Lithium US, Part #: 56-926), and it doesn't. It will likely only mate up with the MB-branded CTEK charger. So if anyone is interested in a brand new cord to use with an MB CTEK charger, I have a 100W% brand new unused cord for sale It sells for $60+ new + tax and shipping. Yours for $55 shipped within the US.

Hey 'FDNewbie'! What are the chances you still have this adapter? I am also in the TPA area.

MB charger hooked up and working!
Can you please explain how you got this panel off? My trickle charger port has recessed like yours had, and i've spent hours and hours trying to get the panel off to no avail. I cannot believe it only took you 15 minutes?!
