So Im keeping my maxima after all, and im gonna do a few things to it. I was looking around on ebay and came up with an idea, dont know if i can do it... Can i take out the manual Heat-A/C controls and put an automatic climate control in its place?? I have a 99 SE-L.

 

you can, but its a waste of time and money,not sure anyone has ever attempted it.
the easy answer is that no you cant do it

 

the SE limited didn't come standard with auto climate control...?

i would think you could just swap the control panels though....even the "manual" control just plugs into a wiring harness...there's no mechanical linkages or anything like that. For that reason I'm guessing all the rest of the stuff is already in the dash except perhaps a temp sensor or something like that. But its your money and I am not offering any guarantee's either....let us know if it does work out.

 

I have an auto-climate control dash peice for our fourth gens and it comes with the aluminum cover (if you have a kit) not stuck on yet but comes with it....only $20 plus shipping....nothing is worng with it...I was going to be doing the same conversion but had other repairs to get done first....if you're intersted let me know!

FYI...this porject will cost upwards of $600 for new wiring and sensors....the bang for the buck is not that good....but as they say: details make the car!

 

i think someone tried this and it was A LOT of wiring and work that needed to be done....and i could have sworn se-l came with auto climate also, r u sure u have se-l?

u got a typo there? www.stickies.com u mean?

 

There is a write on doing the conversion on this site - Here . It looks like it was done on a 3rd gen though with lots of work.

 

alright.. nevermind then

of course im sure i have an SE-L... i dont think red was a common color in 99 unless you have an SE-L, I also dont think the old man that owned my car before would take the time to change all the badging and floor mats and wheels.

 

if you wanna do a manual to auto CC conversion, more power to you. IMO you're better off w/ the manual controls
