Air con just throws in cold air..

Climate is clever, it detects cabin temperature and will throw heat or cold air around to maintain whatever temperature you set it at :y

how easy you reckon to swap regular cold/hot controls for Climate Control? is it just a panel swap?  :-/

Nope, there is a lot of ECU integration, wiring, etc. You'd need to be swapping ECU's and numerous Looms -

Absolutely not worth it. Ps - see my reply to your directional air question :y

Nothing is impossible, but swapping manual controls for climate is pretty close to impossible ;D


If you sell your climate panel, the coding is different between saloons and estates.
