Default Hole In Dashboard Can Anyone Tell Me What It Is?

Hi,

I've just got a ST170 but noticed a hole in the dash.

Can anyone tell me what it is please?

Thanks

Thanks, does it connect to anything?

I can't see any connectors or leads in the hole.

If anyone has a photo of one that would be very helpful.

i reckon somebody thought what the fook is that, and levered it off. Before realising that it's got wires attached.
