What Does This Button Do?


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, thought you might be able to help. Does anyone know what this button does? Its on a 98 S2 (2.5t X FOUR). I was thinking it had something do do with the transmission. Its an Auto but not a tiptronic. I have done numerous searches (here and google) and can't seem to find any info.

Im considering purchasing the car so any info would be appreciated.

cheers

looks more like after market cruise control to me. do you have 2 throttle cables under the bonnet?

Thanks Duncan,

Yeah, I did consider cruise control, but it doesn't seem to have the standard acc resume.

also it appears on another similar car at auction in japan ( http://www.tradecarview.com/stock/detail.aspx?sid=1037404 ) so I don't tink its after market?

Its called "switch assy-radio" in FAST, so im guessing it will adjust your radio.

i'm going optional RPG laucher control.

check to see if the spare wheel has been removed and replaced with the RPG bracket.

This thread really went AWOL :thumbsup:

Once again I'm happy to say Chook is 100% correct!

It is the "steering audio switch" and it came as standard on the X series.

Why the X series? I thought V's were the optioned-up ones! :)

Here it is anyway from the manual:

no thats only one question - the other is, does it work with aftermarket head units?

^^^ Thats the million dollar question!

I'd say it won't as I believe it is hard wired to the oem unit.

If the truth be known, the X series were the most optioned & Expensive of the Stageas. In fact the 25t X FOUR was the only one to come with the Navi/TV as standard.

Interesting. So what is the difference between V, X and Prime? I take it Prime was an option in either V or X series? If so is it possible to get a 25t X FOUR Prime ?

I'm guessing that this would be possible, as these things usually come through the clock spring as direct wire connections. You'd have to be really unlucky and find that it has been serially encoded or something... and then, I saw a kit somewhere the other day, which was made specifically for such a purpose, and had settings for adapting Holden/Toyota and some other factory-fitted steering-wheel controls... can't remember where it was but I think it was Jaycar. Failing that, it was DSE's or Altronics.

When you say V I assume you mean RS?

There was no X prime edition. this was only for the RS series. You could get the X in leather but it was Olive grey.

some if the diffs would be no tiptronic option in X, and the interior was velour (which i prefer) not jacquard, among many others.

The real povvo models were the G series. which look similar to the X's.
