Function and application in the Volkswagen Crafter MK2

The dashboard storage compartment with a 12V socket serves a dual purpose: it provides an organized space for small items and allows you to power onboard devices. In practice, this means a convenient place for:

• storing documents, keys, cards, and small accessories,
• connecting a phone charger, navigation system, or dash cam,
• powering additional devices used for work (e.g., terminals, scanners, small service equipment).

Thanks to its factory design, the component integrates seamlessly into the Crafter MK2 dashboard, maintaining a cohesive interior look and ergonomic access to the 12V socket for both the driver and passenger.

Original Volkswagen component – fit and compatibility

As an original Volkswagen part, the storage compartment with a 12V socket has been designed specifically for the geometry of the second-generation Crafter dashboard. This translates into:

• precise fitment with factory mounts and cockpit panels,
• preservation of the original interior design language,
• compatibility with the electrical wiring intended for the 12V socket in this location.

This used OEM part is a sensible choice for fleet and individual users who want to maintain their vehicle to manufacturer standards without resorting to universal, poorly fitted alternatives.

Used condition and the benefits of choosing pre-owned parts

The presented storage compartment with a 12V socket is in used condition, which allows you to significantly reduce the cost of repairs or replacing a missing interior element. For vehicles used intensively – such as the Volkswagen Crafter delivery van – this is a practical solution that enables:

• restoring cockpit functionality after damage or wear of the original part,
• maintaining a consistent interior appearance without investing in a new part,
• reducing service costs while retaining the factory design.

Usage comfort and space organization

The dashboard storage compartment integrated with a 12V socket improves the ergonomics of daily work with a commercial vehicle. The driver has both a place for small items and a power point for electronics at hand, which results in:

• better cabin organization and fewer loose items,
• convenient access to power without the need for extension cords or splitters in other parts of the interior,
• a more organized and functional workspace on the road.

For transport companies and professional users, this means more practical use of cabin space and easier maintenance of order during intensive operation.
