Moonroof with "overhead mini-console"

I was looking through the sales brochure for my 2005 F150 and I noticed that it mentioned something about the power moonroof including an “overhead mini-console without storage”. In looking at my truck, I don’t see anything that could be considered a mini-console unless they are referring to the thing that has the control to open the moonroof. Does anybody know what this is or have a picture of it?

Are you talking about this? It's a rail system with storage bins that attach to it. Some trucks with no moonroof have a couple.

I'm confused about the "console without storage" quote tho. Did you mean something else?

I don't have anything like that at all. The "console without storage" quote came straight from the sales brochure.

Yeah that's an overhead rail storage system, it's got a light at the end too.. It looks good but not very practical, you cant even fit a pair of sunglasses in them. I use it to store my locking gas cap key.

Yep.

With a fayncy moonroof, ye gits the 'mini-console' wif ye map lights, roof control switch, 2 USB ports, 2 IEEE 1394 ports, WeeFee hotspot, GPS locator, flare & chaff dispenser, radar & lidar jammer, and a place to hang ye bottle opener.

Purty dang useless, if'n ye axe Ol' Bubber



.... Hint - the li'l ting'um wif da switch and the map lights IS the 'Mini-console wiffoot Storage'. It certainly qualifies - it's 'Mini', it holds SFA, and the fyancy name 'Console' ye gits fer FREE.

My truck is a 2004. Those are headrests that I had custom done a few years ago from a member on here.

Ok, you got me. You should have seen my eyes light up when I read “2 USB ports”

Yes, who did that and how much was it? Did he use your original headrests?
