    It's definitely an aftermarket custom mod. Cupholder illumination has been done a bunch of times, and it would appear in this case someone customized a switch to control the cupholder bulbs.

    No....for someone who may think of stealing the vehicle, they would have to press this to complete the ignition sequence. By having it marked as it is....it's unlikely they would look to this switch.....Decoy
