    Driving a 2010 Columbia with smart shift. On the dash is a black box with a directional keypad plus a half dozen other buttons. I've seen pics of other trucks with this but nowhere can I find what it's for. Something to do with Bluetooth? Thanks

    @uncleal13 . Any idea? I've seen dash pics of other trucks with this so it's not unique to this truck. Somebody must know? Can you all see the pic? Shows up on my phone ok.
