2005 EVO8 SSL Owners - Dash Question!!

I just picked up my new 2005 Evo8 with the SSL, upgrading from a 2003... I just saw these 3 holes in the dash when I got home.... these werent in the 2003 and I cant find any reference to them in the manual... i've searched and cant seem to find anything on them? Does every 2005 with SSL have them?

Help!

I have an 05 Evo 8 with SSL and I can't say that I've ever noticed it. I have no idea what they're for.

they come on a lot of new cars, I have no idea why some of them are for Nav systems for the microphone if you can talk to it, but that is not a option on the evo. I will see if I can find out at work on monday.

Mitsu. Japan put it there on the USDM models so they could laugh at Americans that wonder what it's there for.

I thought it was for the chiming when your belt isn't on. . .it might be for regulating in cabin air pressure . . . .j/k, I have no ****ing clue, but I've seen them on other cars as well and assumed it was for temp regulation for cars with auto-climate features. . .so maybe it's a remnant from the JDM Evo's that do have auto climate control. . .
