Ditto. 2011 here with remote start installed at the factory. No trigger under the hood here and nothing like this 'module'.

our keys have a programmable chip inside that's required in order for the vehicle to start (so somebody can't start your vehicle with just a copy). in order for the remote start to work, the matching coded chip must be within a certain range of the ignition in order for it to continue running for longer than like 2 seconds. that's most likely what that is.
we had an aftermarket remote starter kit professionally installed last year on my wife's dodge ram and they had to add a similar device in order to bypass the programmable key requirement. bet that's what it is...

I bet it's the guide point or LoJack module. The button is for calling to a service center like onstar. My 2010 has this in the same exact place, but the module looks different.

I have the same thing in my jeep. I was under the impression this was part of the KARR alarm system, like Basecamper said...
Do a google image search on "karr alarm", the first picture will be from a Prius website, it looks like the backsides of the two pieces you posted in post 17.
