Whats This Switch For?
Hi,
My first post and I just bought a 04 RX8 (touring)? Bose, side curtains, paddle shift ect... I really dont know much about my new 8 but I have this on\off switch that is located down by my dash dimmer roller switch. It is to the left of the roller switch and I have no idea what it is for, it is not in the manual, can anyone help?

Its not a button, its a switch (on \off) located at the far left side if the panel. I am aware of the DCS button that is also located within the 4 finger panel. It looks factory but Im not sure what its for. I do know its Not the DCS BUTTON That button is cool and I still need experienced 8 owners to tell me about that, but I dont know what that FACTORY LOOKING SWITCH ON THE FAR LEFT IS FOR. THANKS, BILL

Like a toggel switch? I know one eight owner who had the red floor lights installed and they used a toggel switch, like you get from radio shack.
Like they said, take a pic.

Its the rev limiter disable button, hit that button, restart your car, then you can rev to 13000 rpm where the renesis makes the most power : 300hp@13000rpm

More seriously (somewhat): what on Earth was going on in France in the 1420's that you picked that time/place?

Treaty of Troyes. With the Burgundian faction dominant in France, King Charles VI of France acknowledges Henry V of England as his heir and as virtual ruler of most of France.
