It is sat under the stereo console/ashtray area, looks like a minus symbol and it lights up green when pressed. Is kinda egg shaped and has a cable going off under the ashtray.

I will add a pic shortly.

Yeah '96 PFL, It had the full multimedia system in it. The button does look to be of a similar design to the minus button on the normal aircon buttons.

I'll try and get a reasonable picture this evening.

I can see the pic now but is definitely not factory fit.
Start pulling the gear stick surround out and the readily aircon dash out and see where the wire goes.

could it be something to do with a old Bluetooth system??

Seen something like that before used to answer or end call as a back up.

Only other thing to do is trace it and see what it connects to like Dave said.

I was hoping it was for a passenger ejector seat, but alas not.

I'll report back in a couple of weeks once I have the chance to strip the interior a bit.
