What's this?

Post by Driller »

This receptacle is mounted in my glove box to the right of the stereo.

Made so that something will plug into it.

Any ideas?

That's different then mine. Do you have a glove box light in there anywhere. I think that one is missing the light bulb and the lens cover.

I'll have to check if there another light. If not, I think you're on track.

Need a better angle to see the shape of the plug. I have an idea though.

That's what I thought initially as well BB. Although, I'm guessing it's some type of holder for something that clips in (sunglass holder?; registration holder?). Not sure. I don't think it's a power port or USB. Almost like the top clip holds something and the bottom indentation is for you finger to fit in there and pull it out after you lift up on the top tab.

Hmmmm

Funny.
When you right click and select "search google images" it comes up as a car door.

That's where mine was on our 262. Are there metal contacts in there?
