I bought my 04 xa 2 years ago and I noticed a toggle switch and a small black button beside it. I had the oem radio and when I pressed the button, the radio cut off. pressing it on other times would make an alarm go off a few seconds.

I just figured, oh well, I put a new radio in and the switch didn't do anything to the radio this time. But noticed a blue led light turns on when switch is set to on and you hold black button after a few seconds. Light doesn't blink, just stays solid and hasn't turned off.

There is also a black receiver on my driver side windshield top corner. I have no clue what either of these things are for. I am guessing an alarm? Or maybe just for keyless entry?

I don't have a key remote to know. I didn't get one when I got the car.

Any help is greatly appreciated

 

Pictures would be helpful.


There is a thread about remotes (aka FOB). How to get them and how to program them.

 

...I figured it out on my own and it is a remote start car alarm.
