Creative SOS Button Uses

I'm wondering if anyone has come up with an interesting use for their SOS button (other than activating the tele-aid service).

I think it would make a great switch for nitrous, or bass boost or something like that.

Any ideas?

First I need to disable the factory phone system. Where is the module located? I just want to unplug it so I don't hear it every time I start the car.

The button could be used for lighting, or maybe an aftermarket bluetooth answer button.

what a great idea! I always found that red SOS button to be useless. Let us know if you find anything

OK, I just realized what to do with the SOS button... end of discussion.

They use it in Africa to combat car-jackers. Perfect excuse to put that button to some good use.
