What is this???

Hey All - I bought my first Tacoma this month and can't seem to figure out what this little aftermarket gadget is... Any thoughts?

 

Dealer installed alarm...

 

Dealership security device.

Mine was mounted under the coin tray drawer thingy to the left of the steering wheel. I used the holes to mount my trailer brake controller

 

Self-destruct button.

Passenger seat eject button.

Spike strip release for tailgaters.

 

Looks like I know what my first mods will be.

 

Emergency Interior Fart Exhaust button

 

I had one of those dealer installed alarms on the first new car I bought many moons ago. The company went out of business and it later stopped allowing me to start the car, so I had to remove it. I was surprised how easy it was to remove! (sigh)

 

Oil slick button for when the spy's are following you.

 

On mine that button is for the bacon dispenser.

 

That button can be found here:

 

where do I acquire this mod!?

 

It was a dealer add on for first gens

 

Remove at your own peril. A few threads on TW explaining messed-up wiring and starting problems.

Probably better to have the dealer you purchased from, remove the apparatus.

 

Press once to turn off the rear end whine. Press twice to correct transmission shifting issues.

 

Russian listening device...?

 

There have been other examples of this kind of thing on the board and it always pisses me off when I see it. Does it baffle anyone else how some dealers have no problem boogering up your brand new truck with all the jack lag screw holes anywhere they feel like it? Should make them replace the whole damn panel just out of principle. I mean 3m tape or something if they absolutely must if anything.

 

Tell dealer to remove their crap alarm. Double check wiring near ignition that they recklessly cut/snipped/butt connector because with a little vibration you'll have problems.

Ask me how I know.
