Title: Taking the climate control panel apart
Post by: Omegadoha, Desert Member on 01 December 2009, 13:07:05

I managed to pop the climate control panel out thanks to Welung. :y

Only problem is the replacement panel I got is for a right hand drive car, mines a LHD - LOL. Only difference I've noticed is that you have to use the passenger side control as the main one. Don't suppose thats a major issue?

I was wondering whether it is possible to swap the fascias over. I took one of the panels apart but I don't think you can remove the wiring quite so easily. is it a good idea to retain the back part of the CC so that it remains LHD operation. Plus is the facisa and back part unique to each other?

thanks again.

You need a Tech2 session.  It programmes the CC panel to either LHD or RHD, no need to disassemble/swap...

Can be fun if you swap the settings on someones car without telling them.....   ;D

Fair enough. I'll ask the Mannai's (main dealer) to Tech 2 it over to LHD. Bet they don't know how to do it though.  ;D

My car is LHD and the climate panel main knob is the passanger side one, so I have RHD setup? I wonder why... and it's always been that way, I have got used to it and it makes no difference to me... Will see if I could get in the next TechII session in the future...

If you need an "idiot's guide" (useful if your dealers are like ours) on setting it to LHD using a Tech 2 I would be happy to oblige.

OK. I will have a play with the Tech 2 when I get a chance.
