Get your head further down in the footwell and see if there is anything plugged into the diagnostic port. I think its purple or pinkish in colour. It could possibly be a part of a VAG diagnostic kit or possibly a Revo switch, or something similar  :confused:

If you squeeze the sides of the conpartment and then pull it will come out allowing you to see whats behind it

That looks like an in-line fuse holder, has the car got (or had) a phone kit etc fitted?

Yes mate the previous owner had a phone kit but took it all out i thought. Is it easy to rip this out?

Trace it back to where it comes from, I imagine it will be either the fusebox or from the power supply block just below that trim.
