Electrics: What Are These Wires For?

First this, I've got a Ford Focus 1.6 Setec S

What are these wires for?

When trying to find a AUX input on my car I came across these wires. They fit to the back of the button board below the Clumate control/ above the 12V plug.

I've tried looking for pictures of other models and the only buttons I can find are, passenger air bag, or central locking?

Can someone confirm what they are, and if it would be possible to buy a button and then have the car feature.

Thank you:)

    From left to right the wires are for-

    Far left- Passenger airbag deactivation warning light.

    Left- heated windscreen

    Right- rear window demister

    Far right- ESP deactivation button (or power roof control on a mk2 Focus CC).
