hmm i wonder if the mk4 could do this, and if u could run an amp off of it, would save the headache of running wires to boot for a sub. sorry to hijack ur post lol

Wouldn't it be a physical thing i.e. the circuit it is on rather than a software thing??  Sorry just thinking out aloud.

Maybe turn it on. But the amp idea no. As it will not have the current capability to run such a power hungry device.
