My 172 has given birth to a connector

Does anyone know what this connector does/is for? The trim piece below my climate control came loose and then this popped out. I thought 172 non-cups had every option in the centre console. Am I missing something?

The wires are brown and blue.

In that gap mine has a speaker, that looks like the same connector.

Don't know what the speaker is for mind you.

A speaker!? What on earth for? How big is it?

I'm tempted to put a spare piezo across it and see if it makes any noise. Now that you say it, it is a near identical connector to the speaker connectors.

AlexW you'll probably know the answer to this straight away

I'm struggling to believe Renault had the capacity to put a car phone in a hot hatch in 2001. Phones were not much smaller than a Clio back then.

I thought some had the option to connect a phone to the standard HU?
might have imagined that though?

I think levaz is right. As any other use that speaker could be for would be pointless.

Yupp hands free kit , see it somewhere on here before

SatNav speaker maybe, but hands-free does sound plausible to be honest, I am sure I have seen it as an option on none Sport models.
