I have a 2003 Corsa C and under the centre console of the dash just above the ashtray there is a D-Type connector socket (like a monitor cable plug) Whats it for, and has anyone ever used it???

""Electrical accessory socket""

I wonder for what?
Mine is the elegance model and the manual doesn't mention it.

its for diagnostics / fault finding

[noll2themax]

It's sunk back with a protective cap on it and quite hard to find, so can't have an everyday use

[maviscoull]

if its not meant for your use....then why is it classed as an 'additional interior feature'

I thought the diagnostic computer was under the bonnet in the engine bay?

the computer part is, but most cars have a plug somewhere, glove boxes, fuse boxes, under ash trays where a diagnostic tool or a computer with diagnostics software can be plugged into
