Why is there a grill?

why is there a grill right behind the two LED map lights? it looks like there would be a place for a sensor kind of like the one above the rear seats but it is not.

Hi, the "grill" you are refering to is the speaker where the chimes for your auto functions come from, like door adjar, black ice warning, ect.

Really?

I thought that was for the hands-free microphone for the HU.

Edit: for the phone...

Actually, there's a camera and associated government approved listening devices you're not supposed to know anything about...
