The design allows for installation in the rear part of the interior, which preserves the original look of the console and ensures proper routing of electrical harnesses. The layout of buttons and knobs is matched to the ergonomics standards used by the Mercedes brand, making it easy to operate even while driving.

This element works with other modules responsible for air distribution, ensuring that setting changes are quickly reflected in the operation of the vents. Using an original panel helps avoid issues with compatibility, communication with the vehicle's bus, or malfunctions of comfort functions.
