    Funk switch question

    Where does the funk switch go?

    http://oempl.us/index.php?main_page=...roducts_id=545

    As can be seen here, the only free slot I have is between the passenger air bag light and the hazard switch. Will it work there?

    personally, i would do something a bit more conniving...;)

    FUNK means Radio in German. The switch is used mostly by police or taxi operators to enable/disable the radios (and other power-intensive equipment) in their cars.

    Not to drag this up, but how did you wire that? I have my V1 hard wired using their kit and a fuse tap. I would LOVE that ability.

    Re: Funk switch question

    Oempl.us, do you have any switches with pigtails that will fit in position #2 in the picture above? (Completely flat sides)

    What about for the position all the way to the right, to the right of the ID card tray? (Rounded upper right hand corner)

    These would need to have the chrome accents.

    Thanks.

    Send us an email and we'll check on the far-right switch, but I think there isn't anything there...

    Re: Funk switch question

    Could you use the FUNK switch and cover it with a blank button face to have a more stealth looking functional toggle?

    Re: Funk switch question

    Back from the dead.
    Is this just a normal on/off switch? Looking at that photo it looks like there are only 3 wires. On, off and ground?

    EDIT:
    Looks like it's a momentary switch so no on/off action.
    Anyone care to decipher this article? Electrical engineering is not my good side at all.

    Re: Funk switch question

    Any way to wire this so you can turn the 640 relay (servotronic) on/off without having to disconnect it? I like the steering without it but in traffic it pretty much feels like there is no power steering at all. Don't know if disconnecting the relay while the pump is running would mess it up or if that would make the ecu go nuts. Any suggestions?

    Yes, that would be easy to do. Switching the Servotronic ON/OFF while driving will not effect the power steering pump.

    Back from the dead again....

    The FUNK switch is not momentary, it is a mechanical latching ON/OFF switch, that changes state with each button press. The three leads are connected to the contacts inside the switch, one is Normally Open, or OFF, the other is Normally Closed, or ON, the third is the Common for both contact sets. When the switch is OFF, the LED is off, the contacts inside the switch are Open/Not connected between the NO wire to the Common wire, and the other Normally Closed contacts are Closed/Connected between the NC wire and the Common wire. When the switch is ON, the contacts change state from Open to Closed, and Closed to Open, or OFF to ON and ON to OFF.

    The linked article describes a circuit to provide electronic switch latching function using a momentary switch to control the latch state changing to either ON or OFF, with each press of the momentary switch, according to the electronic latch switch state when the momentary switch is pressed.

    Why would you bump such an old thread to add misinformation? I installed one in my own car shortly after my post here and I can say that it is indeed a momentary switch sending the SAME signal with each press and NOT a latching on/off switch that has essentially two positions with a mechanical latch. The OEM FUNK switch is a MOMENTARY switch.

    Re: Funk switch question

    If its a momentary switch you should be able to use it for anything as long as you can figure out how to wire it up.

    I got my funk switches and need a wiring diagram or some help on pin placement.
    I found 2 different diagrams but neither seem to be correct.
