What is the dummy button under the recirculate button on the dash

Post by robdog »

There is a dummy button on the dash under the recirculate button and I looked in the owners manuel and it is there but it is not labeled as anything. Anyone know why this is there. Just curious.....

It's just an unused button. It's been previously discussed:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id ... ad?id=1903

As a child of the Eighties and former Defender fan, I think of it as my hyperspace button

Can somebody with the nav system in their car please confirm that this is where the "radio" button is (or isn't)?

I don't know where they get the pictures - my guess is that they snap them themselves or get them from the press releases that the companies put out - it usually takes 1-2 weeks after a major auto show and the guys at speedycars.net have some beautiful 1600x1200 wallpaper of it. That particular car is labelled "2003 Vibe". They also have pictures of the vibe show car that were released in 2001. It worries me that the pictures don't match your car...
