What Is This Part Called?

[cc333]

I was working on cleaning out years of dirt and crud from under(and inside) the center console when I remembered that provisions exist for a second cigarette lighter-style plug in the storage bin under the arm rest, which would be very nice to have.

However, I can't figure out what it's called, so I can't find it anywhere.

I found a photo of a Toyota Matrix console which has the part I'm asking about (circled in red):

Perhaps it's a feature that the Matrixes (Matrices?) had that the Vibes didn't, so perhaps it's a Toyota part?

It seems that all the wiring is in place, and the hole in the console bin exists (it has a rubber plug installed), so regardless of who made it, once I know what it's called, I should be able to find it, buy it and install it.

Thank you!

Called Toyota yesterday...With a little digging they found this
P/N82166-01010-Wire $16.26
This is SUPPOSED to be the harness from the chassis wiring harness to the 12vdc socket.
Here are the P/N and prices for the socket and cover.
85530-06010 socket $22.34
85535-02031 cover $7.39

That was 21 years ago, so if Toyota still stocks those parts, the prices will have surely increased.

At this point, you might look for a 03 or 04 Vibe or Matrix at a junkyard. If you find one, you might want to snag the coveted 03/04 double console armrest lid while you're at it.

Or just buy some aftermarket thing and cut/splice the wires

Don't know your year, but both my 2003 and 2005 Matrix's had the extra 12v plug in the center console. Is it not just the same 12v plug/harness that's in the dash? I would think it would be listed as a 12v accessory power outlet or something along those lines. If both 12v+/- wires are there, would a non-OEM one work, as long as it had a cover? Something like THIS?
