I've got a buddy that just bought a brand new 2014 RAM 3500 mega cab. He can't figure out what this button does. It looks like the button was added on after the truck was built. The dealer also was unable to tell him what it does. The manual doesn't seem to have anything about either. It is to the left of the steering wheel, has drawing of a phone and has a blue flashing light on it. I tested it with my phone and the button does nothing while connected to the uconnect. Also does nothing during a call. It's like it's just a dummy button with a flashing light. Anyone have this same button? I've attached a picture of it.

That is odd. Wonder if it's to an aftermarket system. Did you trace down any wires?

That does NOT look like a factory switch or location for one.

It's the Mpoar EVTS button. Installed after manufactured by the dealer. It's Mopars version of LoJack. You have to pay for certain services to have any of the buttons work. Do a search for "Mopar EVTS" and you will find information about it and it's few features.

Its a guidepoint gps system. The toyota dealer i used to work at installed them all the time. Its basically lo jack, along with a gps service if you got lost or needed help. It wont hurt anything to remove it, just hope that the installer didnt drill a hole in the dash to mount the keypad.

When I did my truck deal I brought my wife with me. While taking delivery the salesman said he installed a secret button that activates an ejection in the passenger seat. I pushed it on the way out of the dealership and heard a scream. ****! She was gone! Try it!


Seriously, I don't have that button in my 2013 on my dash.
