OK, sorted it. Seems to be an antenna connection as you guys stated. Would still love to know exactly what, if any can be more specific as to its function. Why is it on my car but not any of the DIYs online? Will it affect any of my connectivity / functionality without?
You have zero chance of being able to unplug it without dismantling the centre console trim. I chose to remove the rear section, as there are less electrical connections to unplug compared to the front
See pics:
Plug is located on the drivers side, low down, adjacent to the rear vents. Just where the front console meets the rear section.
Tray in place - much more practical
Whether or not I have any connection / reception problems after disconnection is yet to be seen... I'll report back if I do!
