I use it to hold my Nexus card when driving across the border (MI-Canada-NY). Conveniently in reach when I get to the booth.
Card Holder?

Funny story... When I first got my Sonic, I was highly curious about that little slot as well. I was attempting to slide "something" in there to see how deep it went, just so happens that "something" was a condom... I got it stuck. I could get it out with a pair of needle nose or something, but I think it adds a personal touch to my interior. Besides, I wouldn't use that thing for holding credit cards anyway. At least now I'll always have an emergency back-up in my car.
OMG yes yes....thats whats its for lol
Honestly going to find a mount for my phone to modify to slide in....seems like a natural centered spot right below the sterio. Get all my tunes from google music and gps right there. Cant wait =]

I wish they would have made it a little larger to fit an Ipod or cellphone into. The one jack is right there. A 3" cord and you're set.

Yeah, but if I could put the pod in there, I wouldn't have this long cord hanging across my heater controls or getting in my way when I shift. I know I can use the glove box, but if you made it twice as tall, it would be more useles and it you made it twice as wide and deeper, you could use it for a ton of things.
I do some same thing. I stop somewhere just before getting to the gate, fish the ID out of my pocket and into the slot. When I get to work, I put the ID back into my pocket.

2012 Upgrade to "Best" Faceplate
When I upgraded and replaced my original 2012 Sonic LTZ radio (UH7) AM/FM stereo with CD player and MP3 to my current Kenwood DNX893S Navigation system using the Meta double DIN faceplate, I had missed not having my original factory radio card slot holder and decided to switch faceplates from "Meta" to "Best."
Reason: Metra (along with new 2013 to present OEM MyLink faceplates), did away with the card slot holder feature.
While "Best" retained it (below):
So now it looks like this:

Instantaneous purchase of carbon offsets based on driving style and mileage? LolWhen you insert the card and the radio display says PLEASE REMOVE CARD QUICKLY it is time to worry!
Actually, it would be kind of cool if you could program your radio to do this and have a subtle button to activate the message.
You could see how many people you could convince that you had leased the car by the mile with a "pay as you go" contract and had to swipe your card before it would run.

Yeah I am too looking to do a phone mount so I can keep my phone up there to use as a set of Bluetooth digital gauges, getting live info from a Bluetooth dongle. Finally getting that one gauge that sadly the Sonic lacks, coolant temp gauge.
