Blank spot in overhead console

Has anyone found a use for the blank spot in the front of the overhead console above the rearview mirror? I have been thinking of putting something in there but I cannot decide what... I have a 2002 1500 ext cab. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!

I have an '02 Z71, I would kinda like to know what went (or was supposed to) be there in the first place.....even the sales guy at the chevy dealership I bought it from couldn't tell me.

That overhead console is the same in the Tahoe/Yukon, and Burbans... Rear A/C and fan controller goes there

Now that you said that I remember seeing a Tahoe(or Yukon?) with it....but it didn't click in my head because I was playing with all the other electronics in it.

Re: Blank spot in overhead console

But as far as Silverados go its just pretty much useless? Has anyone come up with something creative to put there? I was thinking of mounting a remote head for a fire dept. radio there... just seems like a good place for something.

I mounted my Sirius Starmate satellite radio. I looks awesome there.

Nope.
In the LT version of the 2002 this is where the little display goes to display temp and direction.
I thought it was where the DIC went; but was corrected in a prior post years ago.

I store my sunglasses in there. My cell flys out when I hit speedbumps.

Half those sales guys couldn't tell you the time of day. When out looking at vehicles at dealers it amazes me how little many of the salespeople know about the product they are selling. Many times I ended up knowing more about the vehicle and the salesperson learned from me,( because I do all my research before entering a dealers' lot.) I think the dealership should make the time and require all of their sales people to learn about the vehicles they sell, especially the basic info.

I use to think they knew more about the paperwork side of the deal, but I have talked with a few that could even screw that up.
