Default factory microphone and/or speaker?

my truck (2000 blazer) has the factory sunroof and short overhead console with trip computer. Between it and the visor (on the drivers side) is a small black plastic thing that looks like a mini-hood scoop.. I assume this is a microphone for the onstar or is it aftermarket for a cel or something? Any idea where it plugs in if factory? I'd like to use it later on for a bluetooth capable head unit.

Also - there's a small round speaker (I assume?) on the driver side headliner. It's about 1.5" round. I just noticed it today.. what is it? where does it connect? Is it a speaker, or another mic? I swear I hear a 'buzz' coming from it.

My truck did come with onstar, if that matters. I plan on removing it from the rear cargo area, but will have to leave the mirror because it's also auto-dim (which I really dont like...)

If I'm not mistaken the one on the drivers side is a temperature sensor for the auto climate controls.

A few pictures would be really helpful, then we could better see what it is you are asking about.

Thanks, that would make sense (temp control). I cant find a pic online, but I'll get one of mine tomorrow.

On the passenger side headliner, there's a grab handle. About the same location on the drivers side, is where this round "thing" is. It looks like a tweeter speaker grill to be honest, but I can see where it would be a good place for a climate control.

Google search turned up this, posted somewhere on this forum. Is this what you meant?

Thank you, m0perale. Yes, that's it. The only difference is mine is at the head of the OHC near the windshield. But that's the same one.
