    I was looking at putting in a charger in the empty slot next to the cigarette lighter and pulled it out and behind it is a plug that is just sitting there. Anyone know what it is for? it is directly behind the blank piece that can be popped out.

    You have a right hand drive vehicle? If you flipped that picture, I am in the USA, that is where my seat warmer buttons are located.

    Yeah, it is RHD. I didn't realize they include the plugs for features that are not installed. Strange. Was thinking maybe it was already wired for something. Thanks. I"ll have to see if it has power already.

    On the left hand drive version there are additional blanks to the left of the steering wheel on the lower panel. The owners manual will point them out with the disclaimer "if equipped".
