So I’ve had my 2012 Focus SE for a while, and I always thought those were just blank buttons for fancy features like adaptive cruise control or something… turns out they’re actually card holders! Blew my mind!

Only problem… when it’s in park, it’s kinda hard to pull the card out.

I’ve owned my Focus for almost 9 years and never knew this! Thanks for the tip, OP.

I only found out last year… I stuck a card in there just to see what it would do.

I realized it when I thought about pulling the button to try and run a wire for my new stereo USB.

I thought it was just a blank button for extra features like adaptive cruise.

It might actually be! Maybe don’t put your cards there.

I pulled it out and checked the part number… it’s a card holder.
