Armrest Vent/Speaker? (Stupid Question Alert)

Hi,

I know this is just a vent in the armrest even though you cannot get to it from inside the armrest. (Plus why would they put a vent there?) But is there ANY chance it could be some kind of speaker? I only ask because when I'm driving with the volume turned up, I swear I can feel the music vibrating in the armrest.

Isn't that a cooling vent for the wireless charger inside the armrest? At least that's what it is for in my F60.

Wireless charger? Nobody ever said anything to me about a wireless charger...I'll have to look into that. If true, too bad they put in wireless charger and got rid of the storage pockets in the seatbacks and the hidden compartment above the glovebox. Thanks.

Edit: I just saw a youtube video about the charger that shows a holder inside the armrest that holds the phone in place for charging. I definitely don't have that. Plus, the armrest in the video doesn't show a vent on the side.
