As the nice weather started to return, the dashboard button is reflected on the windshield. Here's an image of the button:

I don't believe that the D&DO/B&O button surface has any function, but I don't know.

What is this button for and can it be covered up with some dark tape?

TIA...

It's just the branding for Bang & Olufsen since your truck has the premium audio system from them. It doesn't serve any functional purpose, so it can be covered up with tape to stop the reflection.

Thx guys, I'll tape it up

As for premium sound, I don't know. My '98 Ford F150 had a five, or six speakers system and sounded better than this four speakers system. It certainly had louder sound than the Maverick does. It's sort of strange that the "premium sound system" does not include speakers for the back seats, just the subwoofer behind the back seat.

Fun fact, the Maverick still has the B&O logo:

B&O didn't make it to the subwoofer:

Maybe Ford did some cost cutting on the subwoofer and splurged on the B&O logos? :)

Yeah, more and more strange, little thing I notice on the Maverick, where they didn't really think it through. I was driving today in bright sunshine and as I took the turn, the sun glanced off that logo close enough to my eyes to destruct me. It's been just a split second, but enough to question myself, if I missed something. Nothing happened, just don't want it to happen again...

Well, never mind, then. Maybe Maverick never "lost" it after all (not much of a loss, really...). Escape definitely did and some people were actually bothered by that. :)

Meanwhile, some of us would rather not have that shiny logo on the dash.

Maverick has 6 speakers:
-tweeters in the dash. (2)
-6.5s in the front doors (2)
-4s above the top seat belt anchor in the rear (2)

The premium adds 2 more:
-center speaker in the dash (1)
-subwoofer behind the rear seat back (1)

I stand corrected, yes I do have speakers in the rear. So, my Mav has 7.1 (surround) stereo system, awesome...

It's too bad that SiriusXM radio doesn't even come close in sound quality to match this sound system. The FM radio sounds much better than the satellite radio; now I know why I prefer the FM radio over SiriusXM. I've got to take my flashdrive MP3s, they probably will sound better than the either of the radios....

You know it could be worse
That's not worse, it's horrible.

Just take a sharpie and black it out?
It’s funny I’ve had this truck 4 months now and yesterday was the first day the BO button glared the sun into my eyes. I see a class action suit (just kidding, don’t start no rumors as they will recall and keep the rigs due to lack of non glare buttonsšŸ˜‚)

I had been wrong about the stereo system in my Maverick. First mistake had been the number of speakers, that had been corrected by @ejouie, thx...

Other was the loudness and quality of the sound also had been wrong, both of which depends on the quality of the sound source. As stated earlier, neither the SiriusXM. nor the FM can provide/match up to the quality of sound system. I've connected my iPhone via the USB C-port and listened to some songs, both with stereo and surround settings. Turning up the volume really shook everything and especially the surround setting sounded awesome.

The Music app setting is AAC 256 kbps, that is 3-5 times more than SiriusXM, or the FM radio can do. Changing the OEM speakers to a better quality speakers, as discussed in other thread, probably would make the sound system even better, but it is good enough for me. At least for the time being...;)
