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.





Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?
