Good evening all,

Just wondering what the connector is for in the photo below. I would guess it was for a cubby box? I want get a cubby box and was hoping I could use this existing connector. Could anyone also point me in the direction of one. I'm looking to get one with usb / 12v socket on the front, a secure lockbox compartment and a map pocket. Does something like this exist? Also can someone explain what that is / used for in the last photo? Thanks for your time.

As above but to eleanorate further, the last pic is an Anderson connector in case you want to google it more specifically. Essentially, an extension of your battery (to plug in a fridge for example)

Top image as JM said is the diagnostic socket, it is very important do not damage it. The Anderson connector can also be used to connect jump leads (providing you have the other connector) and powering more heavy duty external things.

If you want USB/12V in your cubby box you'll have to wire it in. Easy to do considering the battery is so close to the cubby box.
