Weird switch in my glovebox
I just bought a used 2k6 C230 sport and I was looking in my glovebox today and I found a little silver switch on the left hand side. What the hell is that? Is my car wired to explode?

Maybe it was an aftermarket switch to turn on/off a subwoofer setup?

Bummer.... I turned the car on and turned the switch in hopes something amazing would happen..... Nothing.... I wonder what it was there for? The world may never know and I'm not about to rip my dash apart to try and find out.

Flick the switch either way and try to start it. Could be a kill-switch, i'm not too sure if these are common w/ German cars, but In the Evo community their pretty common.
