Retro fit dual zone? Everything is possible, but somethings are a lot more difficult than others.
Climate control has more temerature sensors, servos on the air flaps to mix and distribute the air around the car, as well as an automaticly controlled blower to maintain the set temperatures. To swap all this would certainly be a dash out job. Add at least 2 days labour onto the cost of all the different parts required and you would be looking at a fairly hefty bill. Plus the potential for future dashboard rattles.
In all honesty, it would probably be cheaper and less hastle to change the car.
Nail on head. Well put no.36
I find the climate control on the mk6 much less intuative than the mk5 version. If I want to change a setting on the mk6 I find I've got to think about it, on the mk5 cranking up the fan or moving the temp stting was just second nature, and I've owned the cars about the same amount of time (aside from the fact I owned 2 mk5s!).
You're as well off without it Paul, over rated luxury feature more at home in a limo.
Items like 5 doors, ACC, Climate Control, Sunroof and possibly Bi-Xenons are best ordered from the factory.
Ha ha ha, superb Akser
Now that would be the king of retro fits!
