Climate Control

Weird question probably but...
Is there anyway of swapping the dials out for a digital climate control unit?
If so would it be a difficult job?
Cheers.

It's a hell a lot of work and will work out expensive for know real gain. So yes you can, but no shouldn't!

Climate control has servos on the air distribution flaps, temperature sensors and other gubbins to mix the air, adjust the fan speed and distribute the air out of the vents automatically to maintain your chosen temperature. Manual air conditioning works like a bog standard heater with a button to press to turn the air con on or off.

Here's a video of it being swapped out. If you slow it down you can do it yourself :laugh:
