Hi

Anybody know what would be involved in replacing standard heating and ventilation controls with the EATC version. I know the controls are different but what other parts are required. Does the actual blower have to be changed etc.

Cheers

    Hi

    It would involve too much work and the cost would be immense

    It isnt just a case of changing the fascia

    The GEM module would need reprogramming. The wiring wont be there for it.

    Does your car have air conditioning

    Iam sure others will be along shortly

    Hi

    The Bluetooth will not work either do a search.

    Someone went to the lengths of buying a bluetooth module etc and it would not work even when ford programmed everything in.

    Story is if you know you want these features choose them when buying the car they can only be built in at the factory
