Default Help, can anyone id this bezel please?

There is a grilled oblong bezel or cover beside the ignition switch on my '02Z., does anyone know what it's called and it's purpose?

If you need one, I'd bet Marc at VetteNuts would have a used one at a good price.

My C5 has the manual HVAC control, so there is no sensor behind that cover. I mounted a switch for my electric antenna in that bezel.

Mine has the auto, but I don't use it, so I'll be mounting my stereo mic in there.

Interesting, I just assumed it was an odd sort of cover for the bolt that goes under there. Keep a lookout for part-outs as well. You can usually find one cheap.
