What is it?
This LS3 is the first Corvette I've owned since
1959, so don't laaugh at my question. I'm in my garage cleaning my new toy and I noticed a black box on the inside of the windsheild on the passenger's side. What is it?

Everyone knows they put the flux capacitor in the 2nd glove box.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I've seen this question. I did like the description of the flux capacitor in the last thread though. Thinking about chroming mine or an airbrushed On Star logo on it with some flames.

However, in 2005 the XM antenna was in a wart on the halo (coupes) or on the deck lid (convertibles).
