    The button on the right in the photo has a symbol of a phone, a small led that blinks and a hash tag of sorts.

    I have searched the forums and haven't see anything like this (although there are a LOT of forum pages).

    Doesn't seem to do anything....Any help will be appreciated.


    The car is used, 2010 Prius III. It was a fleet car so I wonder if that had anything to do with it? I have driven a lot of rental cars and I have never seen anything like that.

    Here is a shot but I don't think this is aftermarket.

    Nothing happens here but I think there was a movie about that so ....

    It may help to know where in the world you are, or where the car was made for.

    Looks aftermarket. Probably some kind of hands-free calling thing.

    My apologies. I am new here and had a bit of trouble (my computer) signing up. Bought the car in VA and it was originally from Massachusetts. I would have guessed bluetooth but the car already has a phone in the steering wheel so aftermarket bluetooth wouldn't make sense. I thought some kind of emergency maybe but couldn't figure out the hash mark thingy.

    No apologies necessary. That's what the forum is for... Questions and answers. I'm sure that someone will come up with a definitive answer for you. And, BTW, welcome to PriusChat.

    Is the car new or used?

    The more I look at this the more I think it might be a Smart Link for your phone.
