Default Weird features of the A4...

I have 2 things on my car which I can't figure out what the point of is...

1. Some sort of "visor" on top of the rear view mirror? Is this in fact a visor for keeping the sun out if it happens to be shining in through the middle of the window?

2. The "thing" next to the rear ashtray, it is to the left of it, and comes off. I can't figure out what it is. And i just looked through the manual, and could not find it...what is it?

Also, where the cigarette lighter is, there is a storage unit (hah storage unit, I can fit a pencil or two in it lol), is there a coin holder that Audi or another retailer sells that will fit in there nicely? I have no other use for it...(btw, I use the usless cupholders down there as a cell phone holder, heh.

Thanks!

1) sun visor
2) i think thats where the diagnostic thingy went on older A4s

the "storage unit" is where the Nav system controls go, if you had a 2.8 and the nav system

1) Yes, it's a sun visor and it shows great attention to detail IMHO.

2) It's the OBDII port for diagnostic stuff.

3) It's for a box of cigaretters. They fit perfectly. Alot of smokers in Germany. It also fits a StarTac perfectly.
