Default What is this connector for?

Does anybody know what the connector circled in red in this picture is for? It is located underneath the center console armrest. It is not connected to anything and there appears to be a matching punchout area on the back of the console for future use. Phone connection maybe?

I do have heated seats. The picture I posted is not from my car, but is one I found elsewhere on CL. I was working under my console earlier today and saw the same connector in my car. The connectors for the heated seats are in the front of the arm rest area shown circled in blue in the picture below (from my car this time).

^^^ That is what I was thinking. Any idea where to find the pinout for this connector? I am installing PureDrifter's relay to get auxiliary input on my 98GS4 and thought I might be able to pull 12VDC and ground from this connector.

That is what I expected, cell phone.

I closed out a lot of part numbers when we moved out of the facility in northern Illinois in 2002 that made them for Lexus, we had to keep most automotive stuff for 10 years. They don't work now that cellular is all digital, but if you want parts, they are in high bay storage still.... Maybe can get them cheap.....

I do not think he sells it. I just was using the possessive form because he is the creator of the solution.
