You will need to change the complete heater box assembly which is dash out.

It is a major job

Doubt it, the looms tend to be very different.

It will probably go to the fusebox which means it may plug right in.

What are you getting it from? A Vr6 Highline?

One piece of advice I would offer is it might be a good idea to fit a new matrix whilst it is out, not expensive and well worth doing now whilst you have the chance.

Respect for taking on such a job but is it really worth it?

Obviously this thread is about installing Climatronic to a non-A/C car so is quite an in depth procedure but how much variation in parts is there on a Climatronic vehicle and standard A/C vehicle?

Electronic dash control unit to replace the standard 3 twisty knobs, loom...are the air ducts motorised on Climatronic vehicles seeing as the cable operated knobs aren't there? IIRC theres also a dash mounted climate sensor as well which sits beside the headunit.

Lots, normally the whole set up is different, when I had mine apart to do the matrix I was suprised at the amount of wiring and motors on the heater box.
