Identify this Modification

mdrudeen · 08-26-2007, 09:22 PM

Long story short, I bought a very slightly used (170 miles) 2007 touring PKG six from a dealer. It came equipped with a strange button that he could not identify. He said he would e-mail me the accessory list for the car but he has not yet. So what do you think Priuschat folks, can anyone name the function of this device?

The light blinks blue when the power is off but turns off when the power is on. Both buttons appear to be pressable but have no effect on the car

check to see if they enable full access to the bluetooth phone (top button) and NAV (bottom button) when the car is in motion. Just guesses based upon the telephone look of the top button.

That isn't any common button/mod I've ever seen, but those two mods (disruption of the speed sensor wires to allow full access to BT and NAV) are common mods.

Yeah I haven't seen it before but it could be an aftermarket BT set?

Be careful, I think the bottom one activates the ejection seat.

The top button is one of the space ships from Space Invaders and the bottom one is clearly the international symbol for "D-Fence!" albeit sideways.

Rorschach, out!

My guess: it's the ET mod.

That's the "Hang up and drive" button that invokes instant cell phone Karma in neighboring cars:
