You would think that on a 40k truck they would slpurge a bit and have them color keyed witht the interior.

BTW what is the little speaker looking thing that is above your head in the drivers seat? sorry don't have a pic of it.

The little black thing is the OnStar microphone. The little 2.5" thing on the left w/ numbers on it is what keeps women happy.:)

My thing doesn't have numbers on it. And it's a little bigger than 2.5", last time I checked ;) .

This topic elicits the funniest responses.:D Here are a few I got when I asked the same question a few months ago. Had me lmao.:D

"Its your speaker for the telephone with onstar."

"Make that the microphone for the onstar."

"Thats what GM wants you to think, it is actually a voice recorder which law enforcement can dial in on using your VIN. It has been known to be used by high ranking political individuals too."

"They monitor everything you say and do. Don't say anything in your truck that you don't want the FBI to know. Big brother IS watching."

"You should also turn your inside rear view mirror away as there is a built in camera that is useful for mug shot comparo's and such."

"Don't get me started on that explosive detector sniffer fan mounted in the headliner above your head!"

"Thats only on the 05's, the 03 and 04 trucks, that was a fart detector that released an air freshener from the air ducts, they only added that after 02 since the cabin filters were gone which would catch that scent and be worthless. They changed it to the explosive detector after realizing that refilling the air freshener could get expensive in certain parts of the country."


Classic......:D

Wow! this grew fast! I know my onstar works through my stereo system so the speaker in the headliner by your head wouldn't be a speaker for onstar, I always thought that was the mic for it.

And that card is a flying J frequent fueler card, so you can go ahead and use it, I'll just get more rewards! :ro)

After analyzing all the responses I'm going to go with a dikfur, that sounds the most likely.

It is why we refer to our vehicles in the femine gender rather than the masculine.
