Off topic was your car parked in Amstelveen today?
I also have an unwired switch and would like to know.

page 125 onwards has some sort of fader switch wiring diagram but difficult to understand IMO.

Wiring for the fader looks fairly self explanatory on the wiring diagram in the link. The bit in the middle, referring to grey/red and brown wires is just the panel light.
The fader itself is just two 40 ohm variable resistors, which are clearly shown on the diagram.

Diagram is on page 127 of the link.
Two zigzag things with the arrows half way along are the fader (terminals are marked), the speakers are the speaker shaped things, and the black lines between them are the wires.
I can't see how it could be more self explanatory.
