Default What is it?

I was just finishing cleaning and waxing my 2005. I was looking under the seats to see if there was any junk down there.

Under the driver's seat along side the console, I found a little black piece of plastic. It is two inches wide, an inch and a half inches long and 1/4 inch thick. The back has a square hole in it. So it looks like a cover for something. Along the two inch side at the top it says, UP- with an arrow.

I can't figure out where it goes. Does it go somewhere under the seats? Under the dash? Or is it just something I picked off of the ground and threw it in the car because I am an incredible hoarder?

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

If even I can figure out how to post a picture, being the computer idiot that I am, then surely you can figure it out for this.

Why do you assume this? Even those of us with '05s don't know every part on the car.

Pics definitely would help .

Open the picture on your phone. Place your finger on the picture and hold it there until a menue box opens up. Select "email picture". Send it to your email. Open your email, and save that image. Open new reply in this forum. Attach that file from photos. Boom. Done.

The only thing that is coming to mind that sort of fits your description is the Seat Back Release Bezel.
Here is a pic of one in carbon


anxiously waiting your pic of what you found

Sounds to me like it's a black piece of plastic, two inches wide, an inch and a half long, and 1/4 inch thick.



Then again, a pic would be priceless.

When I hit " reply" I get a screen with seven Windows in it. If I click on the box on the right, a page comes up with several choices. Browse your phone, take a picture. Etc. Etc. Which one of those do I choose?

I got it to post but I don't know how.
