What is this panel

Dumb question probably but can some one tell me what the panel is just to the rear of the power window switch and top switch. Haven't seen it before on 3rd gen camaros

I can't take a photo.. It is a car that I just say online. I wish I could see it better but it's definitely a stock part. Was just real curious.

Re: What is this panel

It is not a factory installed part. If it was, there would be some mention of it in the owner's manual or FSM.

Edit: it's a control panel for a remote mount radar detector.

Re: What is this panel

Cool. At least an aftermarket product has an almost identical grain pattern as the console so it can look like it would be an option.

Didn't answer the question at all. I wanted to know what it was since it appears to be a factory option. Oh well. Not all things are answered in this world.

I've seen a 1986 fully loaded once or twice. Seven buttons total on the console. Left window, Hatch release, Right window, Rear defroster, Rear wiper, Fog lights, Cruise control switch.

Re: What is this panel

It was a car that was for sale on the net. I cant find it anymore so it must have been sold. Just curious. Car was a 91 rs with 11000 miles on it. Sold before I could get information on it.
