What's behind these slots beside steering column?

Microphone, maybe?

 

Thermal monitor for the automatic climate controls.

Microphone is in the overhead console.

 

NSA Mic hole

 

I thought this myself but isnt the mic up top by the sun glass storage/4x4 control

 

You clearly didn't get the joke. NSA

And no, its not a mic. The temp sensor is behind itthat controls your auto climate control. mic is over head

 

The Russians hacked my Taco....

 

What did they Putin it?

 

You put dimes in those slots to activate the low-end torque. Shh, most people haven't figured that out.

 

You mean like a thermostat to help regulate the temp inside of cab??

 

My kids ask about those all the time...

 

.....and you tell them....??

 

Up until now I just said I don't know. And no that's not where the key goes. Now I have an answer

 

Learn something everyday.

I always assumed it was the speaker that beeps at you when you open the door before you turn the engine off.

 

Basically, yes.

 

Yes, if you have P&T package. Otherwise it's just empty/blank/dummy

 

Then why is it aimed directly at the balls??? Thats not gonna give an accurate reading as that area is more steamy then the rest of the cab....

 

Why is there steam coming from your balls?

 

What's behind these slots beside steering column?

Expensive stuff to break/diagnosis and repair after the warranty expires.

My '90 Z32 had a couple of those. One at head level, one down low. I imagine these trucks have multiple as well. When they fail, the HVAC will do whacky things, including not work well, or work too well.
