Default Round Button in the rear seat area...what does it do?

I have a 2008 XJ8L and in the back seat there is a control panel between the [front] seats facing back ward that has a vent, door lock button, power port and a MYSTERY BUTTON. It is round, chrome and appears to do nothing. Can anyone share what it does?

Apologies for being in the wrong forum. The item on the left is a cigarette lighter. This large chrome button (with a green lighted circle around it is on the right - same spot but different item. It looks just like the glovebox button.

It's a cigarette lighter that's been kicked in by a small child. I have the same one out of an s type put in my xjr. http://g.search2.alicdn.com/img/bao/...pg_210x210.jpg

It also looks like there's a "dummy" lighter plug cover available which looks similar to what you have, so that could be the case as well. If it doesn't pry out, it's probably a dummy. Though I'm sure other x350 owners will be able to respond with more certainty.
