Socket at back of glove box

[Tripps]

I was fitting my newly arrived Connects2 yesterday, wiring it in so the iPod to live safely in the glovebox, rather than mounted on the dash - all works a treat and I've now got 60GB of music to listen too

However, I decided to route the cable through the at the back of the glovebox, on the right-hand side rather than drill anything new. Having a feel around there was some sort of plug just above the hole, as if perhaps it should have been mounted onto the hole and available from inside the glovebox. Is this some sort of ECU diagnostics port perhaps or something else?

I'm worried now that something internal is missing a connection, even though everything is working!

Sounds like you're worrying about nothing mate.

I think you are talking about the cold air vent in the glovebox. I didnt know 172's had them. I know 182's do tho.

yea there is a plug on the back of the gloveboxes have no idea what its for and never seen it connected either.

If it has a blue cover that you can turn to open/close, its the air con vent. If you have it open when the air con is on, it feeds cold air into the glove box to keep your drinks and snacks cool..
