I own this vehicle

what kind of car? what is it plugged in to?

definitely not supposed to be there

It's a boost activator, push it while you're driving

It's on a prius, leads behind the steering wheel where it joins other wires and is sent god knows where.

Literally a tracking device lmao

Why would a tracking device not be hidden and have a button on it?

Because you're driving a prius and they knew you'd have no clue about it

Clearly a mod of some kind

Oh for fuck's sake boy. That's your OBD port. Your mechanic connects his computer to your car with it

why would his OBD port have been moved though?

So it's not crammed halfway into the firewall

why the fuck would an OBD port have a blue button on it

that's not even the right shape for an OBD port thuogh

It's whatever fucking shape I say it is

It's not the OBD2 port. I kinda doubt it's related, the OBD2 seems to work fine.

Seems like it's a vallet button for an aftermarket alarm installed by the dealer. I don't get it but whatever.

tl;dr aftermarket dealer key management system that they later try to bill used car buyers for as a "security system". don't buy cars with them installed as they cause electrical issues.

Well, too late for this one. I just found that same link, was about to post it. Damn shame but hopefully won't be any new problems after 170k miles.

I thought it was dealer addon shit. Thought it was buy-here-pay-here tracker/immobiliser shit that they install to disable your car pending repossession if you miss a payment.

It's a device which monitors your driving for your insurance company

Google telematics device and don't post this thread again young man.

Dude have you ever seen an OBD port

Nigger that's not an OBDII port

This

>Driving a prius
KYS. Literally one of the worst drivers on the streets
