    None so far
    It’s on the left side of the steering wheel. I’ve been digging for an answer but have come up with nothing so far. Would greatly appreciate your help!

    Somebody went out of their way to get power up to the steering wheel . A couple more pictures may help but running power on the steering wheel is not an easy task without going through the clock spring ? strange to see a button there . My guess would be spot lights on and off

    It's a camera that Toyota uses in conjunction with the feedback on your driving habits. Go to the app and you can see footage of yourself during hard braking, rapid acceleration and hard turns. These are the situations that prompt feedback toward your driving score and as such, are accompanied by video segments.

    It retracts the cab-mounts so you can fit 33”s with no rubbing.

    I knew a guy who also had that button. He pushed it and within 3 hours some Illuminati-looking dudes showed up and took him and his truck away, both of them never ever to be seen again.

    That symbol reminds me of the old "Earthlink" company logo. Are those guys even still around?
