Benefits of using an original socket

• easier installation in the intended location without modifying the wiring,
• proper cooperation with factory cabling and modules,
• maintaining ergonomic operation within the center console or dashboard panel,
• consistent appearance of the element with other interior components.

Characteristics and condition of the product

The offered USB socket comes from the Renault line and is an OEM class part, which translates into compliance with the vehicle manufacturer's factory quality standards. The product is in used condition, which in practice means it was previously operated in a vehicle but retains functionality suitable for further use after proper installation.

To facilitate identification in the store system, technical markings such as SKU, OEM part number, and available interchangeable numbers have been used. This information allows you to verify the compatibility of the element with a specific vehicle configuration and avoid mistakes during selection.

Application in service practice

A USB port socket of this type is particularly useful in situations where:

• the original connector has suffered mechanical damage (e.g., torn plug, broken guides),
• there are problems with charging mobile devices from the cabin socket,
• the multimedia system does not recognize connected data carriers,
• it is necessary to replace the element as part of an interior installation repair.

Due to the preservation of the factory design, installation can be carried out in a manner similar to the manufacturer's service procedures, without the need for universal solutions or adapters.
