Hell'rooo all. I have a?

I just found this pull trigger next to me driver seat, I I followed the cable back to this. And I gotz no clue what it's for.
At first I thought it might be a rear brake cancel thing'a'ma'giggie. And if it is it's not even close to what I've seen.
So any ideas, would be most helpful.

Hello. I've fixed your image links and revised the thread title. Just a little advice (I borrowed this from the Rogue Forum):

2. USE THE CORRECT TITLE: That means, make sure your title has the topic at hand. Don't title something: "I have a question" or "Small concern" or "Rogue issues". Instead title it: "Tire tpms question" or "Rear bumper paint issue".

Lol,
AZhitman: nope. Not the parking brake. Thats the pedal I only use in tight corners. :):):)

OriginalWheelMan: I opened the sunroof,pulled the T -handle next to the drivers seat. Sadly, my co-pilot, was still in the car. :(:(:(

themadscientist: ummm, maybe.

I think I will lube it up. Yank on it, and see if It helps me do a wheelie.

You've heard of the Nissan's NASA inspired Zero Gravity Seats? Perhaps it's Nissan's new the Pee Wee Herman inspired grip strengthener. Lubricant sold separately.... ;)

I'm curious what it really is. Please let us know.

Your friend is correct. I thought the ring I was looking at was ABS. It's the spline.

Exactly what I was thinking haha.
I was going to suggest pulling it to see what happens.
It really does look all "Ejecto Seato, Cuz"!

My Saab had a big red T-handle in the center console. If you turned it left it would pop out.

Nothing seemed to happen so I put it back in and never touched it again. It was probably opening a portal to hell somewhere in a cornfield in Nebraska.

OK, that's friggin cool. I didn't even know that was a thing. I feel like we need to install one of those on someone's car as prank. Run the cable to the passenger side and disconnect the driveshaft when they come to a stoplight, LOL!!!

When you return the handle and nothing happened in a Swedish made Saab, I believe the proper reaction is...
