What are these things?



I have searched my 2019 manual high and low and cannot find out anything about these things in the overhead console. They look like mini bulbs but they never light up. Someone here has to know! Anyone?

It is a pretty basic sound system. Very little treble. Nice try, though!

My Guess

I always thought they were motion sensors.

The alarm, I thought. Maybe also part of that "keep your hands on the steering wheel" message I get now and then notwithstanding the fact they ore on the wheel.

Now that you said that, I did some digging and found that it most likely part of the ADVANCED SECURITY PACK which was added as standard equipment in 2019 for the XLT trim.

Interesting so Piezo transmitters (Ultrasonics) ... it"s amazing how many of the 2019 trucks that have been stolen down here ....

Like I said I really have no clue what they are other than they look like Piezo devices, I guess thieves know the security systems pretty well as most the vehicles end up in Mexico.

I haven't even been in a 2019 yet

They’re motion sensors.

If your window is down after setting the alarm with the remote, any intrusion into the interior will be picked up by the sensors and the factory alarm will go off.

Even a bug flying around in the vehicle will set it off.
