I just bought a 2008 TTS and between the seats, right below the rear storage box, is this:
It looks like something electronic can go on top because of the metal contacts. Can someone please tell me what this is for?
I believe that is some sort of an older style phone cradle. I have never actually seen one before. Usually there is just a filler piece that I use as a mini package shelf for my phone or such items. Don't know what actually mates up with it.

My 2011 roadster has a flat tray there and no "AUX" button. However, if you look in the tray corner nearest the AUX button, you should see an input for a audio mini-jack facing backwards. For a TT with the Concert stereos, you can plug in any audio device via this mini jack. If you use this jack, and if there is no CD inserted in the stereo, when you press the CD button on the stereo the stereo will light up as" EXT. Source" and play the music from the mini-jack. In your case, you may also need to do something with the AUX button.

Thanks for the reply Vegas. In the pic, it looks like an Aux button, but it's actually a cover to the aux mini-jack you were mentioning.
They probably put the "Aux" connector in that location on the early Mark 2's since the phone unit that mounted on that plate took up the whole space & wouldn't allow access where the later Aux connectors are located.
That's probably a good point about why they relocated the connector from the top of the console to the backside inside what is now just a parcel tray.
Yes, that's it! And I just looked at the prices...way to much just to have a place for my phone to sit and charge. I wonder if there's a way to put an extra glove box over it.
This is what the tray looks like in my coupe. This works out pretty well as a small bag/phone/snack shelf. I agree that the phone cradle takes up a lot of space for what you can get out of it. Just as easy to plug an adapter into the 12V.

What is this between my seats?
