Default New to me but what is this

Just bought used 14 screw lariat. But what is this on the dash below gauge light dimmer. Has a phone pic on it and led. It was has wires that run into the head unit. When phone rings it flashes. But push it and nothing happens. Push it when not ringing and nothing.
Ignore black wire in pic. That's radar detector wiring.

what does it do when you press it and the phone IS ringing?


what does it do when you press it when you're in a phone call?


do you have the phone button on your steering wheel?


looks like a phone being hung up. maybe you press it when telemarketers call your cell when you're driving. definitely not factory. factory phone buttons are right-side up

Not factory. Most likely a hands free setup or something like that?
