It is the rear heating tube. They run under the carpet underneath the seat. There is no way that it could be lost forever becasue the tubes turn up by the dash and go up the transmission tunnel. Good luck on getting your phone back.

Ahaha, I lost a pet flying squirrel down those tubes. You know the crap it took him out? Haha I had to buy a trap and wait for days for him to eventually scamper out and trap him. I couldn't drive for days, but it is stilla hilarious story to this day.,..
