It’s on a lot of seat belt buckles, just to stop them rattling against the console plastics.

It's a bank card reader, the pin code appears on the radio display, try it :wink:

Yep, just a soft backing to prevent noise/scratching. Ignore the bank card reader comment, it only displays the pin number on the radio display if you speak with a raised and clear voice 'Read bank card now'. Takes a few goes for the voice activation to adjust to your voice, but handy to have.
