    Was playing around with the configurator and interior/exterior views. Looking at the 2020 TRD OR, what is the button circled in red? On my 2019 there is the traction control button here. Looks like they moved the traction control button to where the cubby was on the left hand control panel by your knees and added this button up top. Any ideas?

    if i remember correctly, the new sos buttons are covered so you cant accidently hit them. you have to flip the cover to access the sos button.

    hence why you cant tell what it is in oem photo's i think.

    I get that you dont want to be able to hit it on accident, but that can cause some issues. Last month my arms and legs became paralyzed while driving, my hands locked up into fists. The only thing I was able to do was mash the horn, I couldnt use my phone, I couldnt even open the door my self. A cover on the button would stop me from being able to push a button that would of been very important to me, if I was not in traffic when it happened (and I had a sos button) I would of died because of a cover to prevent me from pushing it.

    In that case, don't worry about the cover (the button is over your head).

    I am sure with some skill the cover can be removed permanently. BTW; how are you doing?

    Yeah, im sure it could be taken apart and made easy to use.

    Im doing better, back at work, walking with my cane. Still not driving yet, maybe next week ill pick up the keys again and go around the block to see how it goes.
