Default What's this plug for?

Another round of what's this plug for, I am trying to track down why the T4 and OBD2 device won't communicate with the ECU/ECM and I came across this plug under the engine bay fuse box, any ideas what it is for?

I've just tried to find your post but failed

Could you point me in the right direction please? I'm curious to know what feature it was for.

Thanks

Wasn't it for a mobile phone set up that became obsolete before it was even fitted?
