what all aftermarket stuff do you have in your car? alarm...radio..etc...


I found this button in my sisters car and couldn't figure out what it does. Neither does my sister. My car and her car are pretty much the same.

We both have 99 Accords, 4 door, LX models. But mine is manual and hers is auto, also mine was made in the States while her's was made in japan. That's the only difference. I don't know if it makes a difference.

I don't think it's aftermarket because my dad bought the car brand new from Honda when it first came out and then gave it to my sister a couple years ago. We can't figure out what that button/ switch does. The only thing we noticed is that it makes some radio stations more clear and less staticy. That's all we find that the button does. I know its not the alarm switch because that's near the hood release lever.

Does anyone else have this button/ Switch in their car?

I'd guess it's some sort of kill switch or something. Perhaps they disconnected it when they got rid of the car though. Could be for the alarm. Could be for fogs like someone else said, but i'd imagine they would have sold them with it, but who knows. Maybe someone just put it there to look cool and lie and say they have some crazy stuff in their car. People seem to do that for some reason.

The alarm switch is right near the hood release lever, so that's not it. There is an aftermarket deck in there, but I installed the deck myself. That is all.

I don't think it's for fog's either, cause my dad bought the car brand new from Honda.

Thanks for everyone's help! I guess I'll attempt to take apart half the dash when it gets warmer. It's bothering me so much that I don't know what the switch is for, lol. :run:

Haha, epic button. Keep us updated if you figure it out. I bought my car with a black toggle switch over by the cruise control and I have no idea what it does. I'm assuming the chick who had the car before me had neons, because it had basically every other ebay part put on it.

maybe it activates a super high power ignition coil releasing 100000 Mega volts to his spark plug wires. all that energy is releasing gamma rays that are interfering with his radio. Good luck taking apart the dash tho. and tell me how it goes. i need to replace me wiring harness.
