Default Tab under console shift

2022 XLT with console shift
under the rubber mat in the storage area for the gear selector, there’s a tab like there would be for a battery compartment on a remote. I can’t get it open and it’s eating me up to know what it is

That's the door to Narnia. Leave it alone.

I can't be positive, but I think I might have once upon a time read or heard that the location was for putting your key fob into so you can start your truck and use it if/when the key fob battery totally died on you. That way you weren't stranded somewhere far from home (or a place that sells replacement batteries).

Makes perfect sense. I think I offered enough caveats that I wasn't certain of my info, just offering something for the OP to look into or work with.

Where is the equivalent location for a 40/20/40 front seat?
