Hey guys, just got my ep3 not too long ago and noticed on the right side of the steering wheel on the dash is a tiny vent lookin thing, what's it for? Looks? Or does it have a function? Dumb question I know but just curious

I think he's talking about the thing right above the block off plate for the jdm coin holder. It has little slots like a vent

Dude u guys are all wrong. Its where the 6th gear located. Take off that cover . You will see a button. Push that button. Now your reverse gear became 6th gear. ( Enjoy 6 gears.... Caution !! you no longer have reverse, take it to neutral and push the car to go reverse. )

Some say, it will add two inches to your penis if you whisper sweet nothings into it every morning.

Haha! not quite the answers I expected, but too funny none the less! Lol. I assume in other models it may have a function, but in the Si it's just for looks I can guess. Was hopin it would be a hidden NAWZ button..heheh

Th is has been a question on ephatch since before i was lurking in 07, but it always just leads to jokes, no answer.

You know that beeping noise when you open the door and your keys are in the ignition? Comes from there.

Is this what it actually is? Can we finally put this question to rest? lol

I'm pretty sure that chime comes from the cluster. When I swap out my usdm cluster for the ep3r cluster, the chimes goes away.

Normally, a similar device is the sensor for the automated climate control. I think they intended for our cars to have it, yet changed their minds after the tooling for the dash was complete. therefore they just stick the sensor cover in there to fill the hole. Hence the part info I posted on the last page. Or it's a listening device the Government uses to spy on us...

From what I've read, it's where the "AUTO" climate control sensor goes for EDM/JDM ep3's with the auto option.
