    Searching for alarm threads, looks like it must be for the Karr alarm. Karr sticker on window should have had me wondering.

    KARR alarm. A cheap-ass alarm dealers install in cars so salesman have one-button unlocking of cars on the lot. The dealer try -- often with some pressure -- to get the eventual buyer to pay way too much for the thing, to help subsidize their installation program.

    My 2015 had one when I got it. The dealer, somewhat reluctantly, put a disabling chip in that switch to deactivate the thing. I took it all out and pitched it. I still have a half-dozen or so Scotchlok connectors on the harness. Installing any car alarm involves cutting a main ignition wire to insert the alarm. Grr... On my (typical and shitty) install, the ignition wire pulled out of the KARR crimp butt splice with a simple light pull. It's now soldered and well-insulated. But still...
