    Hey guys, this summer I will be heading over to Italy for 2 weeks on vacation and I was wondering if a dealer in Italy would have the 6th position switch? Did they only come in German Passats or in Passats in all of Europe? If I can get my hands on some I may buy a bunch and sell them on here and PassatWorld

    Whatever you want it to...

    In taxis in Europe the taxi button turns on all the interior lights with one button, the FUNK button roughly translates to radio (German to English), which is used to turn on the CB radio the taxi drivers use or something like that haha. When you install the switch you can wire it up to do whatever you like though, from what I've read making it turn on all the interior lights is a BIG wiring job.
