Default Thingy in Rear Ashtray
I just noticed when you open the rear ashtray there is a little cover with a picture of an engine with a lightning bolt through it. You can open it up but nothing is inside. What is this little compartment?

I believe that's the old vag tool port. It moved up front at some point.
