what is this box here?

hi all, i'm still waiting for my owner's manual to arrive from my dealership. got my 2010 camry used, so didn't come with one.

i've been wondering about this box here. it looks like there's some slits in there like for a mic or something. at first i thought it's one of those garage opener receivers, but not sure.

anyone know?

i have a 2010 model. i'm pretty sure it's not the sunglass holder. the sunglass holder box is the bigger box towards the windshield.

i try to pry it open with my nails and even try to push on it to see if it will pop out, but nada~

ic. i'm interested in getting either the BT or the garage unit. for the garage unit.. i wasn't able to find that from the toyota website under accessories. is that something purchased elsewhere? right now i'm putting my garage opener in the coin box.

That is where I installed the microphone from my Toyota BLU Logic handsfree system. It made for a perfect location for the mic. Never had a single person complain about not being able to hear me. Plus it's super stealth and factory looking.

As stated by others, thats for BT microphone. If you had sunroof, that is also where your sunroof buttons would be located as well as front dome light button would be.

Since you dont have a sunroof, your dome light is in the middle. I dont think there is a light in the middle of the two map lights (from what I remember when doing the LED list).

Sorry but you're wrong. The compartment closer to the windshield (left/underneath/opposite side of lights) is the sunglasses holder.

Here ya go. I'll save you the trouble. These are the instructions provided when you buy the BLU Logic kit. You should be able to locate a kit from your local Toyota Parts Dept.

^^ Glad to help. There aren't too many folks on here that have experience with BLU Logic. Heck, most of the dealerships in my area didn't know what I was talking about when I tried to buy it. I ended up getting it from Sparks Toyota in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. They had the best price and super fast shipping too. The kit is a pretty easy install.

I was wondering why a lot of new owners would throw the owner's manual away.

cool. also, another thing is i notice i need to disconnect the battery. on my civic, once i do that and upon reconnecting it, my factory stereo ask me for the security code. does the camry factory sound system does that as well?

i got the car used, so i'm not sure what the code would be in case if i need one. any ideas??
