    Help a stoopid newb and tell me what this button does...

    The print on the button has worn away and nothing happens when I push it. Im guessing it has something to do with the radio. The electronic manual I have doesnt say what this is either...

    I found this picture on google images, and their button looks worn down too.

    Haven't you ever seen Russian Nesting Dolls? They work like that.

            When I first bought my e30 I didn't know why that button did and I was messing with everything with the car. When I got home I couldn't roll the windows up. Lol

              Did it originally have anything printed on it? Every picture I found online shows a blank button.

                    Wondering what - then figuring out what that button does is like an e30 owner's right of passage..

                      How many "weird" buttons do we have on our cars though. Everything is straight forward and simple.

                            Kinda weird how the other buttons are pretty clean, but just that one is faded. Never had a car with a circuit breaker for the power windows before.
