Factory Head Unit mysterious cable?

[Helmski]

I just removed my head unit and replacing with a double din Xtrons TE706PL. (Enough said about the hoops you need to jump through the better) When I removed the original the cable below was connected to the head unit. There is no connection on the aftermarket head unit for this cable and I have no idea what this does. Any ideas?

Awesome reply's guys. Thank you so much. The aftermarket has 3 USBs so now to source a converter for this. So many things I could do with this. Anyone got creative with this cable/port?

Any recommendations on getting something that will have enough juice to charge a tablet from the usb in the arm rest?

Hi did you have any joy finding an adapter/converter for the plug for the armrest USB? I am seeking one but not even sure what the male connector is called.

Just found this which looks promising

Bit pricey but has anyone got any idea if this is the female socket I am looking for?

Cheers

That's exactly what I bought, then I think I ran a £2 usb extension to the arm rest. Pricey for a simple cable but works a treat and keeps everything nice and neat.
