I am in the middle of a new stereo install and just removed the center trim panel and when I went to set it down this part seemed to fall out of it. I can't see anywhere on the underside where it could possibly mount.

It is a molded rubber boot with a copper disk at the bottom. It looks like some kind of a switch sensor.

Any help appreciated.

I'v had my center console out several times and don't remember ever seeing a part like that.

I say NA to boost

I've also installed quite a few stereos in C6's from 2005 through 2013 and I've never seen that piece.

You know, it's possible that it has been trapped under the console for years. Something a prior owner had that literally fell thru the cracks and may not be anything related to the Vette. That's what I'm goin' with fellas'. Thanks for your replies!

it's a penny. They used to be worth something...

The rubber piece next to the penny is worth more.

It looks like it could be part of your traction control button. Is it a real soft rubbery kind of piece? I could be wrong but that's my guess.

Fred,
You hit it on the head . Apparently in one of my attempts to disconnect the plug to that TC button I actually broke the switch and that part came tumbling out. I found out upon re-assy. when the button was completely disabled. It wouldn't respond to any pushing. I managed to get it back together and it is working fine (to my surprise and great happiness) although I'm not sure how long it will last. I may end up putting in a complete new switch at sometime in the future.
