I was hoping that it would have been a "shut the wife up" switch.
Maybe it was, and maybe he has taken that wiring secret to his new car.
Can you contact him.
Just to put our minds at rest.

What a let-down. I was hoping that the seats both reclined fully and Marvin Gaye would start playing automatically. Maybe some champagne glasses would pop out of the cupholders...the love button.

I hoped it might have been Traffic Blaster, one press of that button and no more queues. Come to think of it, the car wasnt originally destined for the South African market where they have flame throwers for anti car jacking....
