is it possible to fit the climate control fascia from a 96 or 97 Omega to my 95 cdx? It already has the dual zone heater/aircon controls.

Possible but would be a dash out job I guess to change the the heater box and would also depend if your car had the wiring in to start with,
Night mare job I would think

If it's just the actual wood/plastic parts then yes :y

The wood / carbon trim can be changed to a none climate easy enough, needs a little triming though.

thanks guys, so, what would I need to look for?
If I were to take the console away if it has the multiplug then i'm good to go or is there more to it than that?
The reason I asked the question is that it came out in 1996, mine's a 95, and I cant see a mfr making that many changes to a models guts until facelift / partial facelift time.

I have a spare climate control unit in my garage I can take some photo's tomorrow so that you can see the connections on the back etc :y

Presumably your 95 CDX doesn't have climate?
Whilst nothing is impossible, upgrading from rotary heating controls to climate is pretty close.
Sorry.

No TB it doesn't. I take it that the rotary controls are mounted onto physical stalks rather than potentiometers driving servos then :'(

You also have to remember that the electronic climate control is/should be fully automated ie when the interior of the car is at .... eg 20 deg the HBV etc all then open/close to maintain that set temp.
With your rotary controls YOU decide that you are warm/cold enough & move the controls to suit.
Just buy another car with ECC .... you know it makes sense! ;)

Both types are vac operated.
You'll be missing a difficult to fit loom, loads of sensors, centre console is different, I think the dash is different (due to different mounting of the centre console). Would be a mare of a job.

lol! after the amount of s**t I went to getting the engine sorted !?! you got to be having a giraffe!
I can't afford to buy another similar car and do all that again, i'd rather restore this one, get to know the car, and then spend decent money on a decent newer example with ALL the toys :y
