Default Secret button - guess what it is

Our RC models here in Australia have a few anomalies. We get the tri-LED headlights, LED turn signals (in the DRL), power side mirrors etc. We also have this secret button near the sunroof controller. Can you guess what it does?

No, neither of those... Keep guessing and I'll post the answer later if nobody gets it.

Do the australian RCs have the Lexus Connect / Enform cellular stuff? If so, maybe this disables that?

I'm wondering if this has something to do with the LED indirect interior lighting. Perhaps a way to turn off the overhead lighting and go indirect only?

BINGO! So you can leave your dog or your child locked in the car while you go to the casino. Seriously, not sure why you would need it, but yes - it disables the motion sensor inside the car.

I am more curious about the roof ejection button on the left.

Does it turn the RC into a permanent convertible?

I must flip open the top of the gear lever, and see if there is an ejector button a la James Bond.
