"Vent/slots" in question
I grabbed here and pulled out, towards me.
Then I grabbed here as well, and gave a quick tug
Now with the panel completely off, you can see back there, I have nothing. In the background you can see the dash board frame.
Hope this helps.

If they can see some type of electrical device back there (like mine). 2) if they have automatic climate control. (wife as passenger does not count)

I was just out for a ride. My 2011 XLT has that wafery dealy in there too. Hmmm.
I doubt it is a microphone. It looks nothing like one and.... my mic is up by the sunglass holder.

The seatbelt/chime speaker is attached to the gauge cluster so it can't be that. I also have nothing back there. I do know that if you have the upgraded HVAC it is the auto sensor.
You would have to pull it and look for yourself. Easy to do.
