Question about 2nd vent from left (for left-hand drive cars)
What is that metal bar inside (please see photo, I tried to circle it in red, the diagonal one *inside*, not the outside grill):
Is it normal? Last edited by tranquility; 08-03-2010 at 10:28 AM.. |

This appears to be a premium-looking appearance or a luxury touch. It is more painted, than a metal bar.
Yes, it is normal. Otherwise, you move the bar up and down as well as sideways to adjust the direction of air flow. |

I'm referring to the diagonal bar inside the vent, not the horizontal/vertical bars. Thx.

It looks like a temp sensor of some sort.
Why do you need to know?

C'mon guys, stop fooling around, we all know it's really the detonator cap for the auto destruct mechanism. The 60 second timer starts at one minute past warranty expiration.

Just a guess but it may be an air quality sensor. Outside air is shut down when polution levels are too high.

I always thought that the mic would be on the steering wheel somewhere? If the mic's in the vent, wouldn't the noise interfere w/ its reception?
