It doesn't appear to have anything at all to do with the lid/cover of the storage console as there's no corresponding "plug" on the lid that it would connect with when the cover is closed. The "socket" does have some metal parts inside it. Does anyone know what this thing is? (No doubt it's something extremely obvious that I just couldn't figure out on my own! LOL)

[right][snapback]86768[/snapback][/right] Hmmm ... I don't know what the OBDII plug is and (since I can see "into" it the cover, if it had one, is apparently missing) but I'm going to look into this as possibly being the "socket thing." Thanks for your feedback!
