My daughter's Nissan Dualis/Qashquai has a socket in the centre glove box, together with a cable. The socket/plug appear to be of 8 pins arranged in 2 blocks of 4, and the other end of the cable looks very much like for an iPhone.

Anyone know what its for, and what the actual connection is called?

>like this?<

That look like the socket for sure.

A little looking around seems to indicate that it is an iPod/iPhone connector which can then be controlled on the steering wheel?

Thanks.

UPDATE: Can anyone suggest what device this style plug is for?

...

looks like an old style proprietary cellphone or PDA type data (and charging) connector from around the year 2000-2005.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.
