Default question on adapter in console

I did a search and checked the manual. I may have overlooked it but what is the adapter in the center console for? it is near the acc. pwr outlet comming from the console into the compartment. It has some wires attached to it and looks like a cell phone charger on the plug end.
I assume everyone has one of these but I cant find any mention of it in the manual.

It probably is a cellphone charger, maybe left in the car by the previous owner, or by the salesman who was using it as a demonstrator.

I've never noticed anything like that and I get in there quite a bit.

This sounds fishy to me.

Maybe go to your dealer and demand an explaination?

Ok, it could be part of the wiring for the F55 switch (which you don't have). Just an assembly error. Let the dealer handle it.

weird, plug part looks like a charger end but it has 2 wires comming from it. most chargers dont but i would think the F55 hookup would look differant on the plug end. Ill bring it to them and see whats up now that I know its a deformity and not a tail thats meant to be there.

Why don't we think of it as a free option instead of a "deformity"? Nicer sounding, no?

Good luck, and get back to enjoying your car.
