Come on, people, someone knows what this is.

I think Evo8nut might have the best idea, but still I think it might have to do with SSL pkg. cuz I think only people with SSL have it. If someone has this thing in a non-SSL car speak up.

 

bbyevo8u has it on a non SSL

 

maybe install a shift light behind it

 

Non ssl here.

 

I have an 05 non ssl and do not have it... bump till someone figures this out!!! lol

 

Could it be for a hands free phone, maybe for a microphone??

 

i have an 05 ssl, and do not have it, however, i got mine in october of 04.

 

could it be a little speaker for alarms?

 

Has anyone pulled the plastic tray off and popped the panel out to see what it is? It's about a 3 minute process.

 

It's the secret mitsu warranty voider spy cam.

 

Or maybe it's there so people who try to steal the car would think it's a hidden camera causing them to ditch the car instead of stealing it.

 

Mystery solved.

There is absolutely nothing behind it. Yep....nothing.

mine is an 05 w/ssl ....just took it apart.

 

so why are the holes there????

 

Yes, thats what it is for. My friend in Germany has his hands free speaker mounted there. He asked for a hands free kit when he bought the car and thats where they installed it. I dont know if thats what it was origonally intended for.

 

I thought thats what it was, I bought a cooper S when they first came out and it had the vents by the rear view mirror and the saleman said it was for a hands free phone available in Europe.
