Next to the esp and set switches I have 2 blanks. Just wondering is there any switches that physically click on and off that I can use.

The esp and set switches are like electronically on and off if that make sense

They have a push button or latching switch.

I have two push buttons for my garage and gate. Not cheap though. But look the nuts.

Yeah not cheap for a button. If I bought an esp, can it be wired to turn something off and on. But how would it work when turning ignition on and off??

If you want a cheap alternative you need to get yourself is a latching relay and wire it to any vw switch,  no vw switch stays on,  it's like a door bell switch,  but with a magnet type latching relay it remembers if it was on or off regardless of turning ignition on and off.

This is a good one,  ie standard terminals,  standard looking relay,  no need to solder wires to terminals etc,  price is reasonable for what it is

I did the same thing, wired my garage opener to three switches. Also before that I had a blank switch with the VW logo on it, looked very good. I had to buy a different ashtray to get five slots so I could have ESP, SET and the three buttons for the gates etc.

Looks great, really OEM. They can also make them bespoke if you aren't going too complicated.

The other option maybe is the USB aux button from a SKODA. I was tempted to try this but no room so didn't investigate much. It looked doable though.

In short no. Because I Also already have esp and TPMS buttons and couldnt find a W switch cheap. I ended up using a normal rocker switch. I chose one which looks pretty OEM and have since stuck with it. If I come across one at breakers then I will replace it. What are you looking to use on for?
