    The only thing I can think of is some type of manual sun roof closing. To be honest the pic you see here is from the internet and not of my rig. I was to lazy to run out to the garage in my pjs to take a pic lol. I don't have the sun roof but still have that blank. Thinking of a way to dress it up, maybe a eject sticker on it or something

    Yeah, it blows my mind that Toyota withheld options like a sunroof and smart fob from the Pro

    Seriously. Even the Canadian Pros have moonroofs.

    One of the main reasons I opted for the OR instead of the PRO.

    oh the list....!
    Yep, ditto that. Old school, LESS complicated, more reliable, one less consumable BATTERY to worry about intercoursing up your day. Less RF that can be hacked.

    I'm sure at least some of the blanks are intended to *never* be filled from the factory. Because you have the guys who put lockers, lights, compressors, and a bunch of other stuff, and they'd be complaining about the fact there aren't any switch blanks to put all their aftermarket switches.
