The Chinese make everything so I should think it would work but probably not the same quality as what is fitted to your mark 6

The coming home function isn't great on the mk6 anyway, you have to flash your main beam before getting out of the car, i'm sure it can be coded to work like the mk5 did but i don't know the coding. What car is it you've got?

I don't think the switch will make it do it automatically mate, like i said the GTI has that type of switch standard and doesn't do it, hasn't your GT got auto lights as standard?
