2011 E350 Cabriolet (W212)
I need help identifying this switch.
It is next to the hood release latch, on the opposite side than the OBD port.
When I toggle it, I hear four beeps through the center upper speaker, but no indication on the dash, or central screen as to what just changed.
Can you help?
What is this???

Hi. Thanks for helping. I can't find anything in the owners manual or elsewhere online. I'm hoping that other owners have the same switch.
Not sure how to check if it's an alarm or related to the rag top. It is definitely somehow integrated since the four beeps come from the built in speakers.

Remote kill switch so the car won't start? What happens if you try to start after the 4 beeps?
The fact that it isn't square to everything around it screams aftermarket doohickey.

Could it be a switch to enable/disable remote start? Like pressing the lock key 3-4 times will remote start your car. You disable the switch in case you hand your car to a valet or something.
I remember that as a feature you can add to your car, back in the viper aftermarket car alarm days.
