Picture? That's a lot of real estate. Can't picture it in my mind right now.

Seat ejection option. Only GB cars got them through the 007 premium package. What you see is a blank.

Very astute technical responses. I always say you can’t get better help than here on Rennlist. Who would have known about the 3rd nipple.?

Do you mean the one on the steering column below the windshield wiper stalk? If so, I think that's a knockout for another control stalk used on some models e.g. if you don't have the multi-function steering wheel I think the cruise control stalk moves into that slot and there's another stalk for messing with the multi-function display. I've got the multi-function steering wheel, so I'm not 100% certain about that, though.

If you mean something else, then yeah, post a picture - or don't post a picture and see who gives us the best response (3rd nipple is the winner so far).

Take a picture so you can get a true answer and avoid all the Smart Alecs.

Ding ding ding. Correct answer. This was moved to a different location early on in 991.1 production maybe 2013 or 2014. My 2012.5 had it there my 2015 has it somewhere else.

I believe this is what the OP is referring to in these two samples...

Ahh, yes, of course: that's the blank for the optional right hand ignition key, which I'm told is very rare.
