Anyone have any idea what this switch is
 
While installing my SprintBooster switch under the steering wheel, I came across this other switch with a green button on it. It's right under the steering wheel close to where one of the AC vents is.

Is this something aftermarket? I bought the car brand new from dealer so it's kinda odd and doesn't seem to be OEM.

Does anyone know what it could be?

You know i was helping someone else with a newer Z and it had this same switch. I asked him what it was and he didn't know ether. I have a '10 and it does not have this switch.

perhaps this could be common among the the newer models. I wonder what it is though?

Looks like a 13 pin din video connector.

What would it be used for?

Can you follow the wires ??

Almost looks like part of a aftermarket alarm

You two should meet.

+1. If you can figure out what the wires are connected to, that may be a big hint as to what it does.

That's what I thought at first, but why the connector/jack? If it were for a "key", OP would have to plug the key in to disarm alarm. shrug

I hope somebody figures it out; my curiosity is piqued. :)

The wires ran all the way inside behind radio and after that couldn't follow them anymore. Of course unless I disassemble around the area.

The car belonged to a Power Dealer.

I know what that is!! My 2009 has it, as does my 2014 SRT. It is a car tracking/alarm that is a dealer install. Actually, the company is Karrtrack. They install it at the dealer, takes about a day because the tracking device is hidden within the car. Anyway, the tracking portion is a paid subscription and you could most likely activate it. My Z is alarm only, but my SRT has the full package. I've answered this riddle for a few people in this forum.

Tracking device?
 
Not doubting you, but it seems odd that a tracking device would have a switch that can be used to turn it off??

lol'ed good point! :rofl2:

littlejuanito 12-12-2015 10:32 AM

I wonder if it was just a dealer alarm and the button is for the valet mode or on/off

barncobob 12-12-2015 10:51 AM

my new 2016 Sport doesnt have it.
