Looking at the schematic of the stock switch, I'd say 'most likely not'.
The stock switch is a static 3 position, what I mean by that is that there is no "spring loaded start" selection like in your car/truck.
The generic should have; off(static),on(static),start(momentary).
Your stock should be;  off(static), park(static), Ign(static).

Dus als ik het oude contactslot loskoppel heb ik een rode , groene , blauw witte en een grijze draad

Red = Batt?
green = IGN?
blue/gray = where does this one go???
gray = ACC ? parking light?

Correct me if im wrong but did i put the wires in the right position or am i going all wrong??????

Red = Batt?            OK
green = IGN?          OK
blue/gray =             From light switch, connect to gray wire.
gray =                    To tail/park, connect to blue/gray wire.
