I used the cable suggested by SoCal911t (thanks again).
Leading evidence: 'Use cable suggested by socal911t (thanks again)' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'phone connector' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check fuse panel so you don't overload it' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I use the switched lead to drive a relay for +12v from the battery to the subwoofer and inverter I have mounted under the rear shelf.

Suspected cause
...you're a true 996 fanboy if you knew it was the phone connector before opening the thread.

Suggestion
It's incredibly useful...but be sure to check the fuse panel so you don't overload it.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

First of all thanks for all the help to date sorting things out with the new to us car. It�s a 2003 C2 cabriolet. This kick panel was loose and after removing it found this connector from the passenger side. Any idea what it goes to? All the units (radio & AC) seem to work fine. The multi CD cartridge thing I have not tried to use yet so not sure if it�s status. Thanks in advance.
Becker Autosound sells a pigtail if you don't want to hack up the wiring. It is part # 5001.524. I bought it through their Ebay store here:

The orange thing below it is the airbag control module. Which is a disappointment if you are deep into the GT3 console delete and want to keep going.

^ As he said, it definitely stays put unless you're planning to delete SRS.
The lower console delete ("GT3 console") is a fantastic mod for tall/long-legged drivers.
I relocated mine to "unplug the switches and put them in a box". I contemplated running them to the horseshoe, but didn't bother. I don't envision a time when I'd need heated seats (I drive the land cruiser in that weather).
Well, there's exercise.
Or so I've been told.
I believe every 996 has it. So did my 986. It's incredibly useful...but be sure to check the fuse panel so you don't overload it.
I'm in the club!
The heated seat switches can easily be rerouted to the horseshoe so long you have unused blanks there. OR can be rerouted to the rear center console window switch blanks if you do not have a cab. My gal uses the seat heat all year ( she has hot buns) , me not so much.
Installed this homelink device today I bought off eBay. It was out of a Cadillac Deville. I used the cable suggested by SoCal911t (thanks again). Works great and looks at home.
