Richard boraston Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Just wondering can you change the normal 3 knob control knobs for the digital display like out of the titanium model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 No. It uses a totally different HVAC box for the dual zone electronic climate. Would need to remove the whole dash to change the box over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manual fan speed buttons might still work. Manual AC button might work. But the temperature control won't work as manual HVAC doesn't have the temp sensors. It might work at the extreme ends (Hi or Lo) but that's unlikely to be comfortable for most of the time. You are welcome to try fitting the panel and let us know what does and doesn't work.

Richard boraston Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Is the wiring the same do you no thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Some of the wiring will be missing. Plugs are the same shape though so basic wiring is likely to be the same. That's why I believe some basic functions may still work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plugs are NOT the same on Mk3. The electronic climate panel will not be plug & play. Oddly, the manual HVAC on Mk3 is fully electronically controlled. No cables like the Mk2 version had. But it seems the plugs are not the same on closer inspection, so the panels cannot be easily switched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 No. They'd have to be mad to pull the dash out, replace the HVAC box and install the climate loom and sensors. Cheaper and easier just buy a Titanium. Which is exactly what I did myself. Some things can be retrofitted easily, but climate control is not one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
