With the ashtray out, there are 2 screws in the back of the ashtray hole. Remove the screws and remove the piece which sits there. Unplug the electrical connections. Does it look broken?
Replace it from any 300D or 240D of the vintage of your vehicle.

I haven't pulled mine, and as the plastic is 20+ years old, I will have a look in my parts car if I get home before dark tomorrow.

It's on the passenger's side.
Yes, mine broke in half while finding out this little tidbit of information.
