Ok, I'll have to ask

It's amazing how not knowing something insignificant can bug you....

To the left of the steering column on my car is a small rectangular vent. Nothing seems to blow out of it and looking down it, it doesn't seem to go anywhere significant.

So.....

What is it there for?

Its probably the return for the cabin air and has the temperature sensor behind it.
