Trying to figure out where mystery part goes

I'm a first-time Acura owner after getting a 2003 TL Type-S from my nephew last month. I'm still in the process of fixing all the minor stuff that had gone un-fixed, and learning the ropes of the thing.

Question: In the process of cleaning up, I found a small plastic interior part in the console box, but I can't figure out where it originally came from (it wasn't attached when I got the car). Here's what it looks like:



It says "SOK HONDA >PP~T<" on it, so I'm pretty sure it's from the car, but that's not a part number, so Google and parts lists did no good.

Anybody recognize this thing?


This isn't part of my question, but I owe the folks here a huge debt of gratitude. I decided to replace the stock stereo with an eBay Pioneer GPS unit, but leave the stock speakers in, and the threads here helped me figure out how to remove the Bose EQ, keep the stock subwoofer and its amp, and get everything working smoothly, which I doubt I'd have been able to pull off without the advice and walkthroughs here.

So even if nobody can answer, I'm already thankful!

Don't know what that is, but I'd like to see pics of the install that you did.

Yes, I recognize the part.

The center console compartment is connected to the cup holder compartment. That piece separates the two. It just slides into the little slot for it.

Thank you!

(Both of you! As well as the mod who moved this--I don't know how I missed the fact that there was a TL-specific sub-board, but I apologize for the new-poster lameness.)

Like finally getting to scratch that itch you can't reach. Again, this is a great community.
