2008 CX-7 GT w/ Sunroof.... Ceiling microphone?

bamamomof2

I just bought this car. I now know that the little blue light in the overhead ceiling is for ambient lighting. Mine may need replacing as it is very weak...need info about doing that.

however, there is a small speaker or microphone or similar (about 1 1/2" by 2" rectangle) about 5 inches to the right of the blue light.

What is that? What's it for? How is it used?

Thanks in advance!

The microphone is for the voice activated navigation system. The top left button on your steering wheel activates it. If you have music on, it will mute for a few seconds while you give a command. If you don't have the manual for the NAV, you can prob find it on line. There are many basic commands you can give, like 'Go to preset destination # 3' .... Etc.
