Unknown Button/LED by Driver side

Hi all,

After doing much research on TW, I was unable to identify what this button was. It also appears there are two LEDs on it that never work. It is located left of the steering wheel, right below the storage tray.



My thoughts so far:

Some sort of cheap towing device added by previous owner.
Some Valet device
Aftermarket alarm/? (No lights when I use stock FOB)

Any info would help. I haven't been able to trace it yet without ripping stuff apart

Thanks

 

Was the truck owned by a business?

 

Not that I know of. It was private party. Bought from the original owner. What are your thoughts?

 

alarm that had been installed by the dealer. usually KARR

where are you located?

 

Tempe, Arizona. Truck was bought in Phoenix. I was hoping it was KITT

 

These guys are likely the ones that installed it

Interesting. I thought you were making a Knight Rider joke. My apologies.

Are you familiar with it at all? Would this be something installed after the purchase of the vehicle?

Thanks for your help so far. It's greatly appreciated

That was my first working theory, until I hit 89 mph... Perhaps this one is set much higher?

 

It was installed by the selling dealer.
Mine had the same thing and came from Bell Rd. Toyota in Phx.
They tried to up sell me to have it activated for something like $750.00.
I made them remove it the whole thing.

 

Interesting, so you are confirming that it is a GPS device? I'm not sure if this truck was from Bell Rd or Right Toyota. $750 is higher than my deductible anyways!

 

its not a GPS device... its simply an aftermarket alarm. The thing with the button and LED is also a glass break microphone, at least it is on my truck.

 

It's the towing version, only works at 89 when towing. and it looks like right hand model. So get up to speed while towing take right hand off wheel reach down and across steering wheel and then hit that thing. You should get an effect then!

 

No, not GPS, more an alarm/starter kill.

 

That's a LED indicator for the dealer installed KARR alarm.

Nothing else.

 

What it is, is a shit f@@king install. If someplace had done an install like that to my truck somebody is getting a punch in the mouth.

I agree that is not the way to install something. Looks like a 3rd grader did it. Tacky

 

My OCD can rest.. Thank you

I know right! That's why I was so curious about what it was. I was hoping to get lucky with a remote start or something cool.

 

Remote start would be cool wish I had that
