Australia Unknown/spare Plug

Hi guys
I have found a spare plug in my car and can't figure out what it is for. It is located just under the coin/ash tray just past the gear level. I was wondering if anybody had any clue towards what it might do?

There are fours wires running into the plug.
-I have found out that one of the wires supplies power to it when the lights are on.
-The second wire supplies power to it when the ignition is turned on.
-The final two don't know

I have one other button nearby which is the door lock/unlock button.

My car is the AUDM version - Australian design market

Pictures are provided below





I would appreciate some insight into this.

Thanks,
Jake

Does your Corolla currently have a light for the cigarette lighter and ashtray when the headlights are turned on? If not, then that may be the power supply for them.

Otherwise Toyota may have used the same wiring loom for both the automatic and manual models, meaning the plug could be for the A/T shifter light.
