Default Anyone know what this button does?

Just got my 13 GT 2 weeks ago and I noticed this aftermarket button with a phone icon and a blinking blue LED. My car has SYNC, so I have no idea what this is. Anyone have a clue?

Thanks,

Steve

Did you press it? Trace the wires? Those two things should give you the answer.

Found a link that says its so the dealership can track your car if it gets stolen.

Yeah, I pressed it. Then the blue LED started flashing. I didn't trace the wires and if you ever messed with taking a dash apart, you'd know why.

If this is a traceable security button then why would it be in plain sight?

My friends best guess was that it's an alarm you can monitor via a smartphone app. But the car doesn't have an alarm. I'm puzzled.

With the way it is routed pull the light switch out and see if you can get a clue as to where it goes from there. May not need to pull the dash completely apart.

It's a direct link to a mystery phone like the bat-phone. Somewhere, someone is getting very annoyed because you keep hitting the button and when they answer, there's nooone on the other end

It seems like it's some kind of aftermarket bluetooth setting, it's defiantly NOT from the dealer.

It's the ******** warmer, but a cheap Chinese knock off. In China, that icon doesn't mean telephone, it means ********. Also, it may look like it's upside down, but it's not. You have to remember that since China is on the other side of the planet, that's how their ***** hang. Down becomes up.
