E350 Cabriolet, How to remove rear ashtray delete panel, I dont want to break it.

[abmunro]

I have a 2011 E350 Cabby.

I want to put a dual USB socket in the back for kids ipads.

I don't have ashtray so would like to remove the small panel and fit a couple of USB's into the panel.

I don't want to break the panel so looking for best way to remove it. Car has rear temp adjustment just above panel

Thanks

Tony

300 looks like it just pulls out tbh. Is that not just the front of the ash tray 310 ??

I managed to remove panel which I have instead of rear ashtray. Simply pull from top.

I cut out hole and fitted double USB socket. I wired USB socket into plug that was already there for cigarette lighter.

Neat job
Little projects like that are always the most satisfying imo.
