Dunno, but I suspect it means you need to change your sig file. Have you owned the car since new?

I'd ask him. Could be anything - an alarm button, a nitrous activation button, an ejector seat .... but I don't think it was there from the factory.

Don't press it, it's the little red button from "Men In Black!"

heres the picture.

Is the horn inside the engine compartment? Because theres a horn/speaker looking thing bolted on the wheel well. Looks like it could be for an alarm.

I would think it would be a valet switch for the alarm.

Is it a button or a light? Kind of looks like the light I have mounted on the underside of my steering column for my line loc.
