Default What are these?

Couple of questions to you C6er's. I have a 2007 Vert. Two parts I can't figure out what they are. I would do a search, but couldn't figure out what to search under.

1) Part on the top of the windshield to the right of the rearview mirror. Long black box.

2) Small round plastic circle with vents on the driver side a-pillar.

Thanks in advance for the information.

I don't have navigation in the car. Would it be a positioning antenna for the Onstar?

Microphone: I thought the microphone is in the rear view mirror far right side?

Yes, cellular and GPS antenna


Nope, mike is on the A pillar driver side about 3 inches from the top.
