Is this a Microphone?

It's been a month since I bought the EX, and just noticed this today There is a microphone like thingy that's clipped onto the top left corner of my windshield under the sun visor. And I noticed that there's a Mute/Drop phone call kinda switch on my radio (stock radio). Did the '00 EX come with a built in handsfree phone option???

that might be something aftermarket. my 2001 limited doesn't have that.

hopefully someone will recognize it and chime in.

It is a microphone for a bag phone or permanently installed cell phone. I had one a long time ago.look under the seats for a black box with a coax cable and 2 writes coming out of it. You might be able trace the wire to it if it is still in the truck.

Yep...i recognize that too. Its a bag phone micro phone. Iirc it was a two wire connection with a white end. The one I had was just the microphone, that plugged into the bag phone. So its not likely the bag phone is still in there...just the end of the plug for the microphone.

On edit i found a picture of it.
