Looks very much like an aftermarket rear view mirror possibly with camera, compass, and thermometer

Yes I guess so. None of the buttons actually do anything thats why I was wondering if theres anything that should be working. Auto-dimming at night works though.

My guess is: far right is a reading light, next to it is either day/nite or compass, the others look like BT telephone perhaps, the hole is probably a microphone.
Maybe there is a mfg and part number somewhere on it, then GoOgle would help.

That could be a Gentax mirror with Homelink for a garage door opener, the 1 dot button for one door, the 2 dot button for a second garage door and the the 3 dot button for a garage or driveway light.


The mirror button for compass and that light button for map light.

Unless you car has the “Pioneer Premium” speaker upgrade option instead of the base speakers, it is likely that ALL of the door speakers have failed. The base speakers were junk. One they are blown, the tweeters in the A-pillar, which hardly ever fail, are left to make little high-pitched noises that are likely distorted to scrathy noises when the owner turns the volume up in a futile attempt to get sound.

This is not just a common problem. To say that every one of those speakers will fail sooner or later is closer to the truth. I have owned three HHR’s with those speakers. EVERY ONE failed. Replacing with even the cheapest aftermarket speakers is an improvement over the originals, BTW. Running new speaker wires to replace the skinny originals is a good idea, too.

The assumption that the radio is bad when the problem is really the absence of functioning speakers has led to countless unnecessary radio replacements.

The much more reliable Pioneer option is easily recognized by the subwoofer grille on the driver side of the cargo bay. Without it, there is just a round solid plastic filler planel.
