On my dash in the middle, just before the dash meets the windscreen, there is a grill (like a speaker housing) with a weird button sticking out of it. Can anyone tell me what that is for? Tried pushing it but it wouldn't budge.

I think it's a sensor. The LCI model don't have it anymore.

It's not a sensor for the remote locking, it works with radio signals.

I leaning for the AC sensor.

But I'm sure someone will soon tell us the fact.

haha... I was reading all the other people's attempt to feasibly answer the "button" question and then I see this! haha :lol: I'm pretty sure it's the sensor for the automatic climate control. Of course, I'm only 50% sure... ejection seat could be the answer since I've never actually pushed this button to find out... any volunteers?

I know it's not the AC sensor, because the AC sensor is above the rear windshield defrost button.
