Can't seem to find it in the manual or anywhere else...
Don't see any results from flipping it one way or another.

Or it might turn off the light in your garage

Took it apart, definitely connected
Played with the connections, seemed loose. Now when I flip the switch, i hear a relay click from around the steering column.
I noticed too there is iPod cable in the glove compartment. When I plug my old iPod into it, flipping the switch will start charging it. Flipping the switch off will display a message on my iPod that battery is low, plug in, etc (the iPod had low battery).
Definitely this switch controls power to the iPod. Too bad it doesn't work with my iPhone, it says the connection is not suitable to power the iPhone or some such thing.
Of course, I have yet to figure out how to play music on my navigation/audio system. I tried everything - CD/SD, source, MP3, but so far nowhere could I hear or see the music from my iPod.
Anyone has any clues?

Figured it out.
The switch only works when ignition is "on". It switches input between CD changer and the iPod. So, turn on CD changer, flip the switch ON and I can play my iPod.
All controls are strictly on the iPod, the CD changer keeps playing, except the sound from it is cut off.
