Issue with TUNER and External Switch

I moved my Tuner button from IA17 (where it works perfectly) to my External Switch 2. Works there too BUT it doesn't show on my MFC. It mutes output and shows up on the AXE with no problem. I had this working before in previous firmware but must forgot some parameter somewhere. Any ideas?
