The 12V auxiliary power outlet used to be called a cigarette lighter with a covering device that could get hot enough to light a cigarette. Since smoking is no longer popular, the lighter was replaced with a plastic cover and it was renamed a "12V auxiliary power outlet".

You can plug 12v devices into it for power such as search lights phone chargers etc
