Default Long black box stuck to top of windshield ?

I tried searching, however could not find anything.
what is this & there is a electrical wire going up into the roof liner.
my guess is it's for a radar detector? Pretty big for a fast lane toll booth.

Very easy to remove. Just slide it to the right. I decided to leave mine in place; it's not bothering me.

Also true that this gets asked a lot. I don't mind though; it's the only question I know how to answer.

Hey don't get too put out with comments you get here. This is suppose to be a forum where questions get answered. I have had people to chime in with no help but useless comments. Just let them pass. There are a great many here willing to help and answer questions.

don’t act like you don’t reply to threads with smart *** comments. Go look at some of the stuff you said.

you seem to make useless comments in people’s for sale threads. In particular asking how much for the purple chair, razor blade and bananas.

Just to be complete: Not in the 05, it is the "wart" antenna for XM radio.

No. As later posts tell you, the XM radio antenna is in the wart on top of the car for the 05s, in the side rear view mirrors for 06s and later cars.
