The inventor of "Post Its" had to keep writing himself a message on his hand so he'd remember his idea...

Utah quality picture, but here it is.
You push the box towards the right and it will disengage from the 4 clips. The bar in the middle is my radar detector mount.

I completely removed the black box, and just for grins pressed the Onstar button on my rear view mirror. The recorded voice still responded with the prompts. I guess the box contains navigational electronics and/or a sending/receiving antenna???

You might as well pull the OS fuse, since you have the box removed.
Benefits are less parasitic draw on your battery when you aren't driving it.

OK, so there's a fuse dedicated just for this that isn't also for the radio? If it's labeled in the fuse panel, I'll find it...

I have an '08, mine didn't come w/ Bluetooth. But I have Bluetooth ever since I upgraded and installed a Pioneer stereo/nav head unit.
