A co-worker picked up a clean '04 GX470 a few months ago and while I was doing an MIL diag, I noticed this empty space next to the 2nd gear start button :hhmm:

What option is this used for?
 
Sorry to get off topic, but is the "2nd gear start" littlerly kinda bypass 1st when taking off from a stop or something else. I'm not fluent in new cruiser.

2nd start does just that. Starts in second. Good when you have very little traction (need wheel spin for mud, etc) or if you are offroad and driving faster than a crawl and don't want to jerk between 1st and 2nd as you gain speed.
 
IIRC, that is where the Rear diff lock selector is located on the, Land Cruiser Prado.
 
I put my switch to my led bar there
 
I wired my light bar into the factory fogs and added the Toyota fog switch to the blank on the left for the new fogs in my iron man bumper.

A non-US elocker diff rear with factory switch sounds REALLY good to me....hmmm.
 
Its definitely the spot for the diff lock switch in the 80 series. Does anyone make a blank that fits on there so you can add to more switches? I'm fighting for spaces to put a AUX light switch.

The 80 series has the diff lock switch to the left of the steering wheel (at least on LHD models).
