Charger for CLK phone

[JamesStv]

Is the 12v auxiliary socket located in the ashtray compatible with any standard phone charger? I am concerned that it may interfere with the gear select lever when it is in the park position. I would rather keep it plugged into the socket instead of having to detach it every time I park. It would be ideal to have a compact version that would enable the ashtray lid to shut while the charger is in place.
I would much appreciate any comments or tips.

Stubby USB adapters are available for purchase. I own one, but, I am unable to recall its origin. Perform a search on the Amazon platform.
I have just discovered that the manufacturer of the product is BELKIN.

EBay ?

I suggest that CLK owners who now have one in use consider eliminating any uncertainty. Although I have conducted searches on eBay and Amazon, I cannot determine if the lid can shut without the lead being there unless I personally test it.

The lid cannot be closed while there is any object inserted into the cigarette socket. If you possess manual dexterity, you have the option to purchase a 12v socket with attached wires from eBay. This socket may be connected either behind the dashboard or further back in the tray, allowing sufficient room for wiring and ensuring that the lid can be closed properly.
I performed this task to install the wiring for my dashboard camera.

Discovered this item and I believe it may be the exact what I am seeking.

That is precisely the charger I used in my CLK for an extended while - it fits well, functions well, but charges gadgets at a sluggish pace.

I successfully implemented the modification as outlined by W1ghty, which included installing a dual USB socket that is compatible with quick charging in the ashtray. The USB socket was obtained from the online retailer, Banggood. Allegedly provides a maximum power output of 42 Watts to the USB device(s).

[JamesStv]

I am not really worried about quick charging; it is only to maintain the phone's battery level while using it for navigation.

[AmericaMonster]

I just connect the phone to either the USB port located in the glove box or the one at the rear of the headunit, or alternatively, one of the USB ports in the boot.

[JamesStv]

As far as I know, I do not have either of those alternatives.

She has one of them in her Leon. The product functions well and is constructed using durable aluminium materials, as opposed to low-quality plastic materials. According to IanW, the charging speed is quite sluggish. However, if your intention is only to maintain your phone's battery level while using it, it is absolutely acceptable.
