Any idea what this button is?

Hi, I have been an Alphard owner for a few months and have found this buttoon on the left hand side of the steering column. It is a single push button and after a couple of presses I get a beep, but no lights on dashboard and cannot see what it does. Its not the fog light as this button is added on the dashboard. Any ideas?

It could be an override switch to allow you to watch DVDs / TV while on the move.

Some Japanese owners fit them.

As a rule the DVD video will not function if the parking brake is applied.

 

Other than that, it have been for any aftermarket gadget the Japanese owners may have had.

Mine had a pay as go entertainment system that was removed before auction.

 

I believe it is illegal in the UK for the driver or front passenger to be able to view video while the vehicle is in motion.
