White when back light, turns to amber when you press it to deactivate the ESC I think?..
Hang on you got me confused now!
I long press and a short press no amber light ...
But the function is available~

I'm looking to integrate my already hard wired radar detector's mute button into one of the console buttons. The process will be nearly identical to DV52's thread for a garage door opener but I would like to utilize the "eco start/stop" location on the left side row. Does anyone know if that is possible, meaning is the economy switch hard wired to earth, like the park assist and parking aid on the right side and unusable for my purposes, or is the eco switch floating like tire set?
Hello. I have done similar solution. Radar detector button conected to left panel.
I bought new leftp panel. Original panel with start/stop panel a swapped with new one with mode + start stop button.
Here is schema of panel, and connector.

thank you for your guide golfdave,
i purchased MODE/S&S/ESC button from VW dealer (
It was fine untill that point but when they connected it with the way you mentioned, nothing worked. They checked ELSA which was still pointing to the connector you have mentioned. As an alternative they connected it directly to ABS Module in engine bay without using any fuses or something. Do you think this is safe ?
Does anyone know what perceivable difference in handling and throttle there is with ESC off on a 1.8 TSI? With such little power I can't imagine very much. Or possibly because of such little power, perhaps it does make a difference.
I should be ok as the T17d connector pin5 goes straight to the ABS no fuses needed. So the you car has no wire at pin 5 then??
it has the pins but strangely connecting it to there just does not work. If it just goes to ABS unit i am fine with that ^^

I would be very careful about that then...
For VW OEM fit you take pin 9 from the ESC switch module to pin5 of the T17d connector. then pin 5 on the other side of the T17d connector should be factory wiring to pin 39 on ABS unit.
Was there existing factory wiring to pin 5 on one side of the connector, remember you need both sides of the connector wired up!

I don't know. despite the shop who did this is so well known, they wont let you see the car while doing their work. So i dont really know how they did it.
Maybe i should hope for the best as it work without a problem right now
What is the point in turning off ESC? I thought it was a safety feature to stop issues where the road is slippery.
