Was having my service done today and got a loaner automatic G35 instead of my 6MT. At the top-left (driver's side, nearest the dash) portion of the auto-gear selector, in the chrome trim, there is, what appears to be, a button. I didn't get close enough to read it if it had text on it, but I was wonder what the heck it was? It didn't seem to "push" / "click" / otherwise give any "button-like" feedback. I didn't think to take a photo of it, but seeing this thread made me curious.

So, automatic owners... what is it?
