Where is the in-car fragrance device located in the Haval F7?

Haval F7's in-car fragrance device is located on the door panel. The Haval F7 is a compact SUV under the Haval brand. Taking the 2021 Haval F7 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4620mm, width 1846mm, height 1690mm, with a wheelbase of 2725mm and a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The 2021 Haval F7 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a double-wishbone independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, maximum power of 124kW, and maximum torque of 285Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I bought the top-trim Haval F7 last year and have studied its fragrance system. The car doesn't actually come with a built-in fragrance device from the factory, but there are two small round holes in the center console armrest specifically designed for installing the optional factory fragrance box. I've seen that 4S stores offer matching fragrance modules that can be easily installed by snapping them in and connecting the power cable. For DIY modifications, some people place fragrance discs in the air vents, but I really don't recommend it—once, a melted fragrance disc clogged my vent, costing over 500 yuan to fix. Another option is to buy fragrance clips that attach to the sun visor, but the scent doesn't disperse evenly. In my opinion, the most reliable method is to get the factory accessory installed at the 4S store. It might be more expensive, but it won't affect the warranty.
Having driven the F7 for three years, I've specifically researched in-car fragrance solutions. The car doesn't come with this feature from the factory, but there's a reserved interface for a fragrance box in the deepest part of the center armrest. If you remove that small cover, you can see two round holes with slots and a power connector. There are third-party fragrance modules available online, but the size isn't quite right—my friend installed one and couldn't close the lid afterward. Don't just use any air vent freshener; low-quality fragrances can corrode the AC blades. Recently, I discovered a new trick: buy a bottle of car fragrance liquid, pour it into a small glass bottle, cover the mouth with gauze, and place it in the cup holder—the evaporation effect is surprisingly good. Of course, regular replacement is crucial, otherwise, it mixes with the leather smell and becomes particularly unpleasant.
