Default What is this microphone looking device in my truck?

Any ideas? I have a phone button on my radio but when i press phone it just says NO PHONE or something along those lines.

I would think this would be for a hands free system but I dont see where to hook the phone up to??

Blue tooth, or On-Star. I have one in mine (Bluetooth). Easy way to find out; do you have an aftermarket stero? If so, Bluetooth. Do you have a button anywhere in your truck that says, "On-Star"? If so, On-Star.

After reading your post (Before, I didn't), it has to be a Bluetooth setup. Check around for your deck manual, and it will show you how to hook up your phone. Mine (Alpine, touchscreen) has a CD with directions on the Bluetooth, but I haven't done it yet. If you don't have the original manual, well, you don't have the original manual. . .

Normal as in OEM? Try turning on bluetooth on your phone and see if it wants to pair with your head unit.

It looks like a hidden camera to catch you while singing on your way to work. Mine doesnt have it and I have sirus.
