Few questions regarding the Sonic

[Zaiba]

Hello! i am an owner of a '14 Chevy Sonic and so far i am Proud of it (previous owner of a '08 Suzuki Swift) and it's so far so good but i have a couple of questions:

1- there's a Slot underneath the Stereo buttons (the stock one not MyLink) and after examining it i noticed there's a clip there facing downward, is it meant to be a Cup Holder slot? and Accessory?

2- there is no Bluetooth option on my stereo...is it hidden? do i have to Retrofit a some sort of a kit?

3- Speaking of Stereos...like any car that comes standard with Stereos that alters the environment of the car (like controlling locks and stuff) i'm 300% sure that there's a Secret Menu that can be accessed with a buttons combination, anyone found it? i know because my current family car happens to be a '10 Mercedes E250 and it has 4 Hidden menus (2 for the Stereo and 2 for the dash) and i'm pretty sure i can add bluetooth,ipod and several other options to the standard menu

thanks for answering

1: don't know
2: Unsure, but is there a phone icon on the steering wheel button, that indicates there is Bluetooth
3: Don't think so... but this thread can teach you some more too

Ok thank you very much! it appears that there's no Phone icon in the steering column and i'm sure the bluetooth can be activated via the Diagnostic menu.

And i posted on that thread how to access Test Mode and it's useless :blankface:

There's a slot under my 2012's standard (non MyLink) stereo, designed to hold a card, be it your keycard for parking garage, toll road ticket, a credit card, your work ID, whatever. Turns out to be a very useful slot which cost them close to nothing to throw in there. I guess you could also design a cup holder or something with a protruding card shape that would sit in there, not sure how well it would hold any real weight or how much it would get in the way, but those are design questions.

On my wife's 2012 LTZ there is bluetooth standard. It is setup through functions accessed from the radio menus and activated once setup from buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, the left side of the buttons, a silhouette of a talking face on top to tun on and below a symbol to turn off. It works very well. You can read all about it in the owner's manual. The slot is for holding credit cards, etc. I don't know of any hidden menus in the radio.

Yes, I used my credit card slot for my custom ultragauge mount. I recently redid and need to post a thread in the DIY section.
