what the?

ok,
i hope this isn't the dumbest question every posted on this forum
i was in my garage takin pix of my car , and as i got in my car, my sandals scraped the inside (there are little buckle things on it). ok, so i check to see if there are any scratch marks (im just like that...i cant stand anything happening to my car). as i move my hand around to feel for any marks, i notice something...its a little button.
what is that button?
its sorta hard to explain where it is. its to the right of the ashtray, and its on the bottom of the dash where you cant see it.

nope, no aftermarket alarm. i'll go down right now to see what color it is.

i would push it, but im afraid it might be some button that deploy's the airbag. maybe honda put it in there for the idiots like me.

there is no buttom anywhere under the dash. I also have an automatic and I just went outside and took a flash light and there is no buttom anywhere. You must be drunk or something. But yes, post pics of what you are talking about.

That button only shows up when the car senses a breath alcohol limit that is past the legal amount. Yea, when you push it it dials the police, immobilizes the car, shuts and locks all the doors (you better move out of the way!) and fills the cabin of the vehicle with air freshener.

Damn after reading everyones post, we still have no idea what it is. God damnit fuzzylogic, post the pic. All I know is I have no button anywhere in the area where he is describing, so it must be something the dealer installed or a shop.
