    Slot Under Left (Driver's) Vent

    So what is the credit card sized slot located under the Vee's LEFT AC vent?

    I'm not looking at a picture of one right now but I thought there was a pop out cup holder under the front right vent.

    I wish I knew. I put a quarter in it thinking the quarter was thick enough to just sit there. It slid through and hasn't been heard from since.

    it is just as you described it - a card holder - I suppose for those who park in garages on a regular basis. I keep forgetting it is there!

    Its an ingenious idea for military members since we are constantly have to show I.D.'s to get on base.

    That slot's usually used for ETC cards in Asia, same basic idea.

    I did the same thing Danny, just assumed it was for coins and dropped a couple quarters in...when I realized it wasn't, it was oh no, I'll be listening to those quarters rattling around in the vent ducting forever, thankfully they didn't dissapear and I was able to fish um out with a double stick tape wrapped paper clip...felt like a real dummy after that move.

    I now use a case from an old pair of sunglasses.

    This is beginning to sound like the classic "The cupholder on my computer broke..."

    In the owner's manual, they call it a card holder, as people noted here. I use it for the parking ticket holder too, although be careful with that, since it is highly visible and can be 'taken' along with the car.

    Can somebody change the title of this thread to "left vent" as the op intended?
