Not stock at all.

It's either an amp switch as stated above, or a toggle for your aux in (looks like an in line fm modulator). If so, it's to turn the modulator on and off so you still get fm reception.

^did you check to see if it does anything to your audio when switched to the 'on' position?

yeah nothing seems to change. when its on or off im just worried if i leave it on and turn my car off it may drain my battery

I probably wouldnt bought the car if it had some Mickey Moused wires like that hanging out.. unless it was a Honda and was free

Thoes Micky mouse wires are hidden behind the carpet and behind the dash had the car for 6 months only found it cuz I was following the wire for that switch

In the amount of time invested in this thread, you could have just followed the wires back to see where they run. Quit being lazy.

That switch could be for anything obviously, but that exact switch is commonly included with wired FM modulators. Maybe someone wanted an AUX in.

It's also included in some remote start systems I've installed. Flip the switch off and the remote start feature is disabled.

I see you've now added a third picture. Of the FM modulator. There's a pair of RCAs somewhere to go with that, likely running into a 3.5mm headphone plug. Find it and you shall have an auxiliary input to your headunit.

So where did the wire come from?

WhiteDealershipRice

I'd say this is the most plausible explanation. Find the Aux in plug, tune the radio to teh freq printed on the side of the FM modulator & you have a wired imput to your ipod.

Sweet ill check it out in the morning.. and the wire led to the fm modulator dmedz8

If you couldnt have supplied that info to begin with, You probably shouldnt be licensed to activate switches. Tune your radio to 88.7 or whatever it says and follow the RCA, plug the cable into your ear and you can broadcast your thoughts.

seeing as how he's already posted a picture of the damn thing and 16 people have already said FM modulator.... I'd say you might be right.

I don't know why I do that to you two

It happens fairly regularly.

I am from the future. now that you guys have found the little red switch under the dash, I can let you know that in the next RX will get 400 hp/350 torques and 35 mpg... and you can use synthetic oil in it.
