Default Funk button

I have a question about the "Funk" button. I have a setup with a switching box that allows me to hook both my iceLink and XM radio to my stock stereo through the CD changer plug (the car is a 1999.5 A4 Avant). Currently I have a rocker switch to switch between devices; it utilizes a stereo mini-headphone-type cord that plugs into the box in the back of the car.

Anyway, how difficult would it be to utilize the funk button to switch between devices? In addition to the coolness of having a button marked "funk" on the dash, it would be a lot cleaner than how I have the rocker switch now.

If any of this doesn't make sense and requires further explanation, please let me know.

Thanks,
Mike

Default It is an on/off swtich, not a A/B switch, so I doubt it will work...

...unless you wire it so that the default device is A when the switch is on only. I have no idea if that can be done.

Default would require the use of some kind of relay

some sort of a bypass if on/off would make the most sense

Default Thanks for the responses

Looks like I'll stick with my half-*** setup. :-)
