Close, there's nothing actually there... But if you purchased the Bluetooth kit, that's the chosen location for the the microphone. However, from what I hear that spot actually is less than optimal. Many owners have moved the microphone from there due to poor sound quality.

It's the emitter array for the spatial deformation and enhancement field. It's what makes the interior of the car so roomy given it's tiny outside dimensions. Upgrades should be available soon from MINIUSA to enable a selectable interior dimension. You can choose from the intimacy of a two seater, the current 2+2, a 5 seat midsize, minivan, SUV, limo, passenger van and bus.

Here is a picture of the first test of the 'passenger van' interior environment. Sadly though, the system failed once everyone had gotten comfortable in their seats and it reverted to the default 2+2 configuration. Luckily, injuries were minor.

That's where the "Indian in the Mini", hangs out. Different from that of his "cupboard" brother as he is of East Indian heritage. Instead of teaching me life lessons, he helps me solve technical issues while calling me "Man" alot.

I believe that the technical term for that part is the "Gnip Gnop."
